Now, I want you to know, brothers and sisters, that what has happened to me has actually served to advance the gospel. As a result, it has become clear throughout the whole palace guard and to everyone else that I am in chains for Christ. And because of my chains, most of the brothers and sisters have become confident in the Lord and dare all the more to proclaim the gospel without fear. Philippians 1:12-14 NIV
Truth: "As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good, to bring it about that many people should be kept alive, as they are today." - Joseph, Ruler of Eygpt and son of Jacob. Genesis 50:20
Praise & Prayer
Heavenly Father, no matter what circumstances I find myself in and whatever trials You permit me to face, I am confident that You are using them to benefit me and to advance the good news of Your amazing grace and everlasting love in Jesus Christ. Holy Spirit, teach me to be joyful and fearless like Paul when I suffer personal hardships or am persecuted for being a follower of Jesus. Please guide someone across my path today who cannot break free from the chains of fear, worry, and depression. Use me to help strengthen their faith by trusting in God's unfailing Word and praying over this promise in the mighty name of Christ Jesus our Savior. Hallelujah!
