Paul, in
prison, continues to rejoice. His priority is his mission in Christ.
What priorities
in our life compete for our time and energy?
Family, Job,
Marriage, Friends, reputation, hobbies, church, …
Do you feel
hard-pressed sometimes to juggle all these priorities?
What has God
called you to do?
How can we
adjust our priorities to move our personal mission for Christ UP?
In V25 Paul
says that he is convinced that he will remain alive.
What does he
expect his remaining alive to produce?
Progress and Joy in the faith
Confidence in Paul
Paul’s return to the Philippians.
*IF your
personal mission for Christ was on the top of your list, what would those
results be?
What were the
competing priorities Paul mentions in these verses?
Life and Death
What is so
great about departing to be with Christ? Doesn’t that mean to die?
Paul’s view of death did not include suffering and pain, nor did it
include separation from his friends, or leaving behind his wealth. He focused
on being with Christ in life and in death.
By thinking about what God has called us to do and be, and choosing
to set that as a high priority, we can lead others to progress in their faith,
fulfill our calling, and experience the joy that comes with being obedient and
productive in our life’s mission.
