Philippians 2:12-18 (NIV)__________________________________________________________
Shining as Stars
12 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, 13 for it is God who works in you to will and to act according to his good purpose.
14 Do everything without complaining or arguing, 15 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 16 as you hold out the word of life—in order that I may boast on the day of Christ that I did not run or labor for nothing. 17 But even if I am being poured out like a drink offering on the sacrifice and service coming from your faith, I am glad and rejoice with all of you. 18 So you too should be glad and rejoice with me.
Father I thank You for the unity in the ministry that I'm serving You in. By Your grace and abounding love, all of us care for one another, keep each other constantly in prayer, and encourage whenever anyone is feeling down.
You hold us together Lord, and I'm assured You'll always keep us steadfast in Your Word. Thank You for giving us the needed strength when we are weak, and steering our hearts back on track whenever we feel lousy.
I love You Father, thank You for making Yourself so real in my life. With joy in my singing, I will sing You praise and exalt Your wonderful name. Hallelujah!
