"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,
for it is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose."
Philippians 2:12-13
All gifts are from God, right down to "the desire and the effort" we put forth for Him. We live for Christ in communion with the Trinity via the seal and power of the holy Spirit, as well as in community with other believers.
Paul urges the philippian church (and us as well) to work out their salvation with fear and trembling. The church is to follow the leading of Jesus, not the other way around.
God has designs for you in mind that
will glorify and honor Him.
Lord, help me to follow Christ wherever He leads
