The moment we seek of ourselves to please God, we are placing ourselves under the law, a realm where grace does not operate. Grace implies that God does something for us. Law implies that we do something for God. Deliverance from the law does not mean that we are free from doing the will of God, but that another, the Lord Himself, does it in us and through us.
"For sin will have no dominion over you, since you are not under law but under grace." Romans 6:14 RSV
Lord, increase my capacity to receive Your grace. I am willing to humble myself.
