First Sunday in January, we resumed our Adult Bible Studies after a month's break. This morning we continued with our studies on the letter to the Philippians. We studied Paul's perspectives on pain and pettiness (Philippians 1: 12-18)
Although in prison Paul continued to witness for Christ. He made a deep impression on the guards as well as the workers in Caesar's household. We learned one very important fact - Paul got on top of his circumstances. How easy it is for us to succumb to circumstances and situations. I pray daily that His grace will enable me to be 'more than conquerors' even over the most difficult of circumstances.
Nothing could rob Paul of the joy in the Lord. Even in prison he could write "Rejoice in the Lord." The secret - he had the right goal. He focused on Christ and had the attitude of his Lord.
