“Teach me to do Your will, for You are my God; Your Spirit is good. Lead me in the land of uprightness.” (Psalm 143:10 NKJV)
I cannot make myself holy; only Christ can do that. But I can choose to exercise my will for God. Just as a married couple commits themselves to each other, I commit myself to Christ. This is an active decision, one that affects the way I live my entire life. Like marriage, however, it is not a decision that can be made once and then be done with it; instead, I must choose to commit myself to God’s will daily.
-- Elizabeth Prentiss in “Stepping Heavenward”
