Philippians 2: 12-15

12 Therefore, my beloved, as you 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; 13 for it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure. 14 Do all things without complaining and disputing, 15 that you may become blameless and harmless, children of God without fault in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world

"Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling"

Do I tremble at the thought of breaking my savior's heart?
Do I fear the wrath/ judgement of God?
Do I fear going to Hell?
Have I been expecting to coast into the Glory Land through my church affiliation?
Or, the fact that I go to church, listen to praise music, watch G videos, tithe, read Bible stories to my children?  Home school?
That's all nice stuff, but am I remembering "for it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure."

Am I really following God's will in my life?
Am I really doing for His good pleasure?
Am I living for the great "I Am?"
