Good morning people who work out while God is working in
Ok, excitement overload happening! Let me do my best to crack open a couple of verses that are awesome:
Philippians 2:12-13 NIV Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always obeyed—not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence—continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God Who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfil His good purpose.
The moment we accepted Jesus as Lord and Saviour, we are saved. PRAISE GOD!
“But have you noticed how we still make some sinful decisions?”
Paul knew this, and so he wrote lovingly (my dear friends), and told the Believers that they need to work out their salvation. As in the natural, so in the spiritual. It takes effort, self-control, self-denial, overcoming fail, going again…it takes exercise!
And then the really exciting part: while we are working out our salvation, God is working in us to fulfil His good purpose!!!!!!! (I can’t put enough exclamation marks here).
We do the external – God does the internal. We do the natural – God does the supernatural. We do the working out – God does the working in.
Ahhhhh, I need to sit and meditate on God’s goodness…
