Song # 1477.1 from Our Gospel In Song Collection by Col Johnston. In Paul’s letter to the Philippians, we read in chapter 2 that we should look towards our salvation and to do everything without complaining.
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 (Philippians 2:12), for it is God who works in you to will and to act according to His good purpose (Philippians 2:13). Do everything without complaining or arguing (Philippians 2:14), 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 (Philippians 2:15), 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 labour for nothing (Philippians 2:16). But even if I am poured out like a drink offering on the sacrifice and service coming from your faith, I am glad and rejoice with all of you (Philippians 2:17). So you too should be glad and rejoice with me (Philippians 2:18).
Thought for today: if you do not stand firm in your faith, you will not stand at all (Isaiah 7:9).
Thought for the future: Christ’s death gives us courage for today, and hope for tomorrow. Where will you spend your eternity?
