habit Day 10 (November 10th)

Philippians 2:12-18

12 Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, so now, not only as in my presence but much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling, 13 for it is God who works in you, both to will and to work for his good pleasure.

14 Do all things without grumbling or questioning, 15 that you may be blameless and innocent, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and twisted generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world, 16 holding fast to the word of life, so that in the day of Christ I may be proud that I did not run in vain or labor in vain. 17 Even if I am to be poured out as a drink offering upon the sacrificial offering of your faith, I am glad and rejoice with you all. 18 Likewise you also should be glad and rejoice with me.

What does this passage say?

God works in me… We are to do those works without grumbling or questioning. God’s desire is that we be about His business without complaining. The hardest part is the without questioning part: We must trust the guidance of the Holy Spirit… when He prompts… we must trust! We are to shine as lights in the world… We are different, people are supposed to be able to tell!

Why is it in the Bible?
