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.

Good Morning Family; Please allow me to pray,
Father God, I come to You this morning with my hands held high in a sign of surrender, asking You for the forgiveness of my sins. Lord God You know how hard it is to see your children and families hurting when they do not communicate with You and one another, when they are self-centered, out of your will, and following the wrong paths. Maybe they get too busy to nourish the really important relationships in their lives.
I pray right now; in the name of Jesus for my own family, for all of the families of my friends on face book and around the world, for husbands and wives who have grown apart or are on the verge of divorce, for children who are rebellious and angry, for parents who are too busy and irritated, for those who are bitter or hurt. Lord God please reach down and tug on their hearts, speak to their minds, and show them the way. I pray the root of their problems will be exposed and that through the Holy Spirit, through Your Word, through a caring friend or a concerned Christian, or whatever You know is best, that You will turn around those lives that are headed the wrong direction and put them back together.
I pray that these families will become healthy, happy, God honoring, loving. communicating, families. God, for the families that are doing well, I pray that You would protect them from the evil one; surround them with guardian angels; and keep that family under your wings of love and guidance. Thank you for listening to Your humble servants prayer, in Jesus' mighty name, Amen, Amen and Amen. God Bless You All and Have A Great Godly Day in the Lord.
