b'The completion\\n\\nRedeeming the time brothers podcast a podcast by Gene Kissinger and Norman Kissinger two brothers who have spent their lives in ministry and raising large families our desire is to provide a digital place for those who long to belong and as always we want to leave a nightlight on for you. That nightlight is that a Philippians chapter two verses 12 and 13 says \\nwere for my beloved as you\'ve always obeyed not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence work out your own salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God which works in you both to will and to do His good pleasure. \\n\\nI listened to Chuck Swindoll a lot when I was younger back when he had "insight for living" out of Fullerton California he was a pastor of a massive E.V. Free Church down there. He is great preacher he still pastors. He\'s a part of a seminary now though and he\'s got a church, I think it\'s called "stone briar".\\nHe used to tell this story about ignacy paderewski who had a piano concert that was in a concert hall, and a mother had her young son who was learning to play the piano and she wanted to inspire him by seeing paderewski play. She wanted her son to hear a classical pianist play and put on a concert while thrilling a massive audience.\\n S he took her son to see the concert and while they\'re waiting this spotlight is shining down on this massive beautiful grand piano. the boy became fascinated by the piano and snuck up onto the stage while his mother was talking to the people next to her, she didn\'t notice until all of a sudden she heard Twinkle, twinkle little star being played up on the piano. To her horror It was her son, playing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star she was chagrined, she got up and wanted to bring him down from the stage but paderewski came out, and reached around the boy and told him keep playing, and not to stop, with his left hand he started playing out the bass part and then with his right arm he reached around the child and started playing a running obbligato. This child, had his "Twinkle twinkle little star" turned into a beautiful concert piece as the master and the novice worked together. I\'m so glad that even though this passage says to work out my salvation with fear and trembling, it says in the verse immediately following, for it is God causes us to will and to do His good pleasure, and Jesus is able to bring to completion the work that he started within you, the master composer of your life can take the feeble efforts that you and I give every day, and somehow turn it into a masterpiece by improvisation, but by the beauty of His Majesty he can do things beyond what we would ever imagined. So if you\'re a little frustrated with your feeble Twinkle Twinkle Little Star just know that a concert pianist better than ignacy paderewski can make something beautiful and complete out of your life.\\n\\n Let\'s pray God I thank you for this day, I thank you for these are under the sound of my voice. I pray you would be with them allow them to rest well tonight. Let them know that even though they have a part and in fleshing out what the gospel looks like in their lives, that ultimately you\'re the one who wills and brings it about within them, as they yield to you and listen to you, moment by moment. You\'ve been so good to us God, watch out over us in this hour, be with us as we rest tonight.\\n In Jesus name, amen. God bless you.'
