Philippians 2:12-15 - 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 according to His good purpose. Do everything without complaining or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a crooked and depraved generation, in which you shine like stars in the universe...
Do you shine like a star in this crooked and depraved generation? Not many of us do. Most of us are busy just trying to survive in this crooked and depraved world. But we are called to do much more then survive. We are called to work out our salvation with fear and trembling, to let God work in us, to act according to His will and good purpose, to do everything without complaining or arguing...so that we can shine amid all of the depravity of this world.
Why should we shine?
Daniel 12:3 - Those who are wise will shine like the brightness of the heavens, and those who lead many to righteousness, like the stars for ever and ever.
We are called to shine so that we are different. So that others will see us as shining examples, so that others will be lead to righteousness because they want to have what we have found.
Do you shine like a star in this crooked and depraved generation? Or are you sitting back and riding the fence between this world and His world? Do you blend in so well that those caught up in this world don't know you are different?
He is calling you and leading you to more...will you follow Him?
God Bless!
