Journey Through Philippians


Many things are pulling at us so that they might rule over us. Materialism and success can become idols if we are not careful. As we look back on the Bible readings for this past week, I am drawn to verses 12-13 where it says, “work hard to show the results of your salvation, obeying God with deep reverence and fear. For God is working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases him.” 


I am reminded of the words of this song: “When the music fades into the past, when the days of life are through, what will be remembered of where I’ve come? When all is said and done? Will they say I loved my family? That I was a faithful friend? That I lived to tell of God's own son? When all is said and done?” Our legacy in life is more than the things that we've accomplished here on earth. It's the Christ-centered legacy that we leave that points others to Jesus. My prayer is that others see Jesus in the life that we are living.
