As those who have placed complete faith in God through Jesus, His Son, not only for our salvation, but for the living out of our salvation, we must follow Him…obey Him…please Him…with no complaint against Him or argument with Him.  God’s ways work! So, work hard to work God’s ways…and let Him shine in, and through, you.  A lost and dying world needs to see that, through you, more than anything else!

 

Philippians 2:12-15 (NLT)

12 Work hard to show the results of your salvation, obeying God with deep reverence and fear. 13 For God is working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases Him. 14 Do everything without complaining and arguing, 15 so that no one can criticize you. Live clean, innocent lives as children of God, shining like bright lights in a world full of crooked and perverse people.

 

“If my ruling disposition is self-interest, I perceive that everything that happens to me is always for or against my self-interest; if, on the other hand, my ruling disposition is obedience to God, I perceive Him to be at work for my perfecting in everything that happens to me.” ~ Oswald Chambers

 

The Lord bless you and keep you….
