Philippians 2:12-18
Shining 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.
St. Paul teaches us that God works in us for His will and His purpose...
St. Paul tells us to do everything without complaining or arguing...This can be especially tough we you are tired, overworked, or are especially stressed...When we are in situations of being tired, stressed, or whatever it is look to the LORD and have faith in Him...Jesus was a man and knows what and how it feels to be a man...He knows the hardships we face... Pray to Him...He now does not grow tired or weary, He is with the Father...Hope in the LORD and you will renew your strength...
