Philippians 2:12-13 NIV Says: 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 fulfill his good purpose.

Good Morning Family, when you get a chance family, please read Philippians 2:1-13 so you will understand why we must continue to study the word of God.

Let me start off by saying that a good story always has a way of catching you by surprise, even if you know how the story ends. Classic fairy tales have become very familiar in many cultures, yet those same stories have kept generations of children wanting to hear them again and again. Classic novels and movies have become familiar to many of us also, yet they still keep us on the edge of our seats. Though these stories may become familiar, they still manage to catch us by surprise, and we appreciate the complex twists and turns of the story lines. We know how these stories turn out, but the suspense still seems to grab us.

Well I come to tell you that God’s gospel stories are no different. While the familiar death-to-life theme surfaces often, we can still be swept up in a story’s suspense and action. And we often forget some of the details, even if we have heard the stories since we were children.

Now what I am about to say may not apply to you. But if the shoe fits, then wear it! The story of our lives family, shows an unbroken pattern of God’s faithfulness, even in hard times. Yet we still forget. With each new challenge or crisis, we sometimes find ourselves wondering whether God will really come through one more time. Amen Somebody!

When that happens, every now and then we need some­one to remind us what’s really going on. That is what the apostle Paul does in our reading for today. Follow through on your salvation because deep down you can trust where this story is going. God is working in you for his good purpose. Amen, Amen and Amen. God Bless You All and Have A Great Godly Day in the Lord.
