Work out your salvation - 5

"…work out your own salvation with fear and trembling; for it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure." (Philippians 2:12-13)

The Lord Almighty created the stars, every animal and living insect on the earth. He created the trees and every flower that springs up. Yet these were not the works of His hand that gave Him pleasure. God takes pleasure in His ongoing relationship and work in you, and in seeing His salvation displayed in/through your life! "...He is working in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure." What a great phrase to conclude this week of blogging with.

I like that. Just think... God gets hopped up on us. COOL! Christ now has a bride. A people set apart for His name, whom is He takes "pleasure, satisfaction and delight in." (Amplified Bible) Just think of that as you reflect on your week and prepare your heart for the Lord's Day.

God takes pleasure in you. He takes pleasure in being with you, working His ways and character in and through you, and He takes pleasure in seeing you work it out (live it). NICE! Could there be a more fulfilling life? I think not...

Thanks for stopping by!
