So then, my beloved, just as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your salvation with fear and trembling; for it is God who is at work in you, both to will and work for His good pleasure.
Philippians 2:13
Did you ever wonder why we struggle? We struggle with a bad patch in our marriage, or a bad boss, or health problems, or financial problems, or any number of annoying faith testing issues, none of which make sense to us.
I do not always handle trials well. I have questioned God, “Hey, God I’m a good person. I belong to You. I have given my heart and life to You, and this is what I get?”
This attitude shows up when I lose sight of the big picture, that being that it is not about me being comfortable, it is about God working in me.
When God works in us, we are better off when He is finished.
