=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0Romans9:17) I have raised you up for this very purpose
of displaying My power in [dealing with] you, so that My name may be
proclamed the whole world over. ~AMP~ 
=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0If you want victory over something, prepare yourself
to work at it. But it is not a matter of depending on yourself or
winning at life through you own determination. God gives us the grace to
do good works. But grace doesn't mean that our human flesh gets a free
ride while we just lie down and go to sleep. 
=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0You are made for good works, to be a servant of
righteousness. You are built to take responsiblity, and God will help
you accomplish all He gives you to do. He set you free from the bondage
of sin so that you can conform to His divine will in thought, purpose,
and action (see Romans 6:18). Victory is achieved through God's grace,
but you have to choose to trust Him every step of the way.
