Good Morning FB friends it is Wednesday, November 6th, 2013. Some rain has arrived here in WNC the leaves are falling at a consistent pace keeping me busy and in shape with mulching and clearing gutters. On our Destiny Road Journey we must “Work Out and Keep Ourselves In Spiritual Shape” which is our title for today’s post. The Apostle Paul writes these God-breathed words to the newly born Churches (body of believers in Ephesus & Philippi) about a “work out” program found in two different passages, Eph. 2:8-10, “For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast. For we are HIS WORKMANSHIP, CREATED IN CHRIST JESUS FOR GOOD WORKS, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.” ~ We are not saved by our works, but when we are saved we should start our “Spiritual Work Out Program” to become more like the One who saved us! Being able to obtain what is mentioned here in Philippians 2:12-13 (Amp), “Therefore, my dear ones, as you have always obeyed [my suggestions], so now, not only [with the enthusiasm you would show] in my presence but much more because I am absent, WORK OUT (cultivate, carry out to the goal, and fully complete) your own salvation with reverence and awe and trembling (self-distrust, with serious caution, tenderness of conscience, watchfulness against temptation, timidly shrinking from whatever might offend God and discredit the name of Christ). [Not in your own strength] for it is God Who is all the while effectually at work in you [energizing and creating in you the power and desire], both to will and to work for His good pleasure and satisfaction and delight.” ~ So let us join with the Lord in His “Spiritual Work Out Program!” ~Blessed2Bless Others!
