'why do you wish to understand? why do you want to see? we walk by faith, not by sight. i have known what it is to feel a thrill of sacred joy within my soul when my divine master has sent me a task altogether beyond my strength. i have felt if this work had been only half as heavy as it is i might have attempted it, but now i know that i cannot perform this task in my own strength, so i am cast upon omnipotence. _spurgeon

Made me think of a couple of verses...

God even created/prepared good works for us to do.

Ephesians 2:10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.

We serve and do good works in the strength that God gives.

1 Peter 4:9-11 Show hospitality to one another without grumbling. 10 As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God's varied grace: 11 whoever speaks, as one who speaks oracles of God; whoever serves, as one who serves by the strength that God supplies—in order that in everything God may be glorified through Jesus Christ. To him belong glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.
