Text: Philippians 4:10-13

Bible Reading for July 26: Psalm 145:9-13

Please note the following verses in Philippians 4:

v.1-3—the importance of “getting along”

v.3—Rejoice, always

v 6-7—Be anxious about “nothing;” pray about everything.

v. 8—Focus on these things

The Apostle Paul wrote 13 of the 27 books of the New Testament. Some were letters of correction; letters of instruction; letters of encouragement; and letters of love.

Paul is in prison in Rome. The Philippian church sent a gracious and generous gift to him along with their pastor, Epaphroditus, to encourage Paul.

Philippians 4:10-13—Paul knew what it was to no food and no water. He also knew what it was to more than enough food and water. No matter what he had, because of Christ, he was able to thrive no matter the circumstances. Paul did not allow the circumstances to make him anxious.

This was not about Paul; not about his lack or his supply. It was Christ and how Christ always made a way.

Christ is the way maker; He will make a way for you!

God made a way for Jacob to survive and thrive. He made a way for Israel out of Egypt; He made a way across the Red Sea and through the wilderness.

Numbers 23:19
