Paradox (Pair of ducks.)

The ability to obey is a gift, but one that I can choose to accept or reject.

I bear the consequences of my choice.

It is a paradox.

I acknowledge that “it is God which worketh in (me) to will and to do of His good pleasure”, but I must still “work out (my) own salvation with fear and trembling”(Philippians 2:13,14).

God’s ways are marvelous.

"O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! For of Him, and through Him, and to Him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever. Amen."(Romans 11:33-36).
