WORRD for 2024

Happy New Year, NewLife! 

We have officially entered 2024, y’all! I don’t know about you but it always takes me a little while to get used to writing the new year down. It’s also that time of the year when folks reflect back over the past year and look forward to the new one. Often this can include new goals or resolutions for what we want to accomplish in the coming year. As you ponder, reflect, and prepare for 2024, here is a W.O.R.R.D of encouragement from Phil. 2:12-16. 

Work-out your salvation: Continue to work out in your life what God is working in you. Please note that this is NOT working for your salvation! It’s the walking out, living out the new life that God has given to you in Christ Jesus.

Obedience that is genuine: This is a sincere following of Christ and His commands, as well as promptings from the Holy Spirit. Paul encouraged the Philippians to obey, not just in his presence but in his absence. This would lead to a maturing faith in them that wasn’t based on pleasing Paul. 

Reverence: All this is to be done with fear and trembling, having a reverence for the Lord that desires to be pleasing to Him and to be doing what He wants, out of love for Him.

Refuse to grumble: This is so we don’t tear down the work of God in our lives. Grumbling defiles us and tears us down. It tears others down and can lead to divisions in the body of Christ.

Dear Life: Hold on to God’s word for dear life! As we do this, we shine like stars!

Let’s hold on to His W.O.R.R.D in 2024!

I look forward to seeing you on Sunday since I haven’t seen you since last year!
