Amen brother. Just remember that we as humans have a tendency to strive for things in the flesh. The only real power we have is from God, and to access that, we can’t be doing it in our own strength.
“And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.”
2 Corinthians 12:9-10
As mature Christians the Lord asks much of us, but anything He asks of us, He supplies the power to do it. The Law makes demands and leaves us helpless to fulfill them; Christ makes demands, but He Himself fulfills in us the very demands He makes.
