So then, my beloved, just as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your salvation with fear and trembling.
—Philippians 2:12
Instead of going all the way with the Lord, we usually stop after taking a step or two. The Lord wants to take us higher, but we like to stay in our comfort zone.
