Night Prayer
Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.
Inspiration
Paul loves the Philippians and praises them for their obedience in his absence. Even though they have been saved by accepting Christ as their Lord and Savior, Paul directs them to continue living in the way God has established. Obeying God demonstrates our loyalty and faith in His instruction to stay away from sin. We accept Christ as our Lord and Savior and continue to live as an example of our salvation.
Prayer
Dear God, we are loyal and have chosen to trust and obey Your Word. Please guide us as we strive to strengthen our faith and live as an example to others. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
