In Circumstances Beyond Your Control
Paul went to Philippi to share Jesus Christ… and guess what? He ended up in prison.
The Lord uses your “prison” to share the Lord Jesus Christ with others. How did Paul encourage other believers from his prison cell?
Philippians 1:6-7 For I am confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus.
7 For it is only right for me to feel this way about you all, because I have you in my heart, since both in my imprisonment and in the defense and confirmation of the gospel, you all are partakers of grace with me.”
When you are in circumstances beyond your control, take the prayerful attitude of Paul.
Be confident that God, who began a good work in you will continue to perfect His work through Jesus Christ in your life.
Keep people in your heart and pray for them – no matter your circumstances.
Remember – all of God’s children are partakers of grace that is given to each of us by our Savior.
Think about this!
In circumstances beyond your control:
Be confident in God Himself for you and your situation,
pray for others,
remember God’s grace.
