Philippians 1
Inspired thots
A Christian always has many many reasons to rejoice despite the circumstances. It is necessary to give thanks to God for the many blessings He pour out to us every day although unfavorable situations come on by. Christians can encourage one another and rejoice to be built up and strong in faith. There are always reasons to rejoice; there is always a silver lining behind every dark cloud.
How positive was Paul even in prison! He saw the faithfulness of the Philippians towards him and God which encouraged him to live on. We must learn to handle afflictions joyfully for we have hope. 2 Cor 4:8-10 says it all; "we are afflicted in every way but not crushed; perplexed but not driven to despair; persecuted but not forsaken; struck down but not destroyed; always carrying in the body, the death of Jesus so that the life of Jesus may also be manifested in our mortal flesh."
