I Am, I Can, I Ought, I Will!

I came across this phrase today, by innovative educator Charlotte Mason.  Here is a personal elaboration of the phrase.  

I am a work of God.  "For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God has before ordained that we should walk in them."  (Ephesians 2:10)

I can do what is right.  "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." (Philippians 4:13)

I ought to move forward on the right path.  "Turn not to the right hand nor to the left: remove your foot from evil."  (Proverbs 4: 27)  "If anyone, then, knows the good they ought to do and doesn't do it, it is sin for them."  (James 4:17)

I will pray for help.  "So what shall I do? I will pray with my spirit, but I will also pray with my understanding..."  (I Corinthians 14:15)

Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts. [Zechariah 4:6b]
