OBEDIENCE: The Enabling of the LORD in us for His Glory

 
The Apostle Paul says to the believers/saints at Philippi: 

"So then, my beloved, just as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your salvation with fear and trembling; for it is God who is at work in you, both to will and to work for His good pleasure."  ~ (NASB -Phil 2:13-14)

 
Obedience that the LORD requires is totally that place that is humanly impossible, but only with the LORD-possible...and when done, you know that you did not do this on your own strength.  There are for us, no bragging rights in obedience.  Only Christ-exalting, Christ-glorifying praise for His enabling!!!
