July 21

Introduction

Paul expresses his deep affection for the Philippians and gives them final instructions for living in community. He concludes the letter by thanking them for all the help they have given him.

Today’s Scripture Reading 

Philippians 4:1-23

Today’s Key Verse:  Philippians 4:13

"I have the strength to face all conditions by the power that Christ gives me."

Reflect

Paul says that he has learned to be satisfied with what he has (verse 11). Why is he able to say this? What is the “secret” he has learned (verse 12)? What are your thoughts about these verses? Many people commit verse 13 to memory. In what ways can this verse be a source of comfort to you? In what ways can the power that Christ gives help and strengthen you?

Pray

Almighty God, you sustain me in ways I may fail to recognize. Teach me to be content, trusting in your love and grace and daily blessings. By the power that Christ gives me, strengthen me to face whatever conditions I encounter today. Amen.

Prayer Concern

Those who struggle to find peace and contentment
