Not a burden Whatever happens, my dear brothers and sisters, rejoice in the Lord. I never get tired of telling you these things, and I do it to safeguard your faith.  Philippians 3:1 This should be my life verse.  I know as I write each day, I often end up repeating the same things toContinue reading “November 14, 2020”

Cheer others on But I trust in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you shortly, that I also may be encouraged when I know how you are doing.  Philippians 2:19 This is hard to imagine.  Even before we had the internet and cell phones, we could at least call someone from our home phone orContinue reading “November 12, 2020”

No complaining? Do all things without complaining and disputing, Philippians 2:14 I have really been enjoying this journey through the book of Philippians.  Even though I thought I knew much of it, simply breaking it down into smaller sections has really brought out new revelation.  Today’s verse for example, I have mentally “known” for years. Continue reading “November 11, 2020”

 Esteem others better “Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself.”  Philippians 2:3 So, I had a revelation this week and it pretty much changed my way of thinking forever.

Walk worthy of the gospel Only let your conduct be worthy of the gospel of Christ, so that whether I come and see you or am absent, I may hear of your affairs, that you stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel, Philippians 1:27 Bad behavior! Continue reading “November 6, 2020”

The only option “According to my earnest expectation and hope that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ will be magnified in my body, whether by life or by death.”    Philippians 1:20  I was going over some “options” in my thoughts about how God would answerContinue reading “November 5, 2020”
