Philippians - Living in the WordSample

Key Verse:

Philippians 1:3

I thank my God every time I remember you.

Reflection:

We are created to be in community with others, and every now and then, the Lord puts people in our lives who bring great joy! Sometimes it's our family, but often it's people who enter our lives in the most unexpected places. Paul smiles when he thinks about his friends in Philippi. He thinks of them often, and he doesn't miss a chance to give thanks for them.

Response:

Who are the people in your life that bring you great joy?

Do you see them regularly, or just every now and again?

When was the last time you told them how grateful you are for them?

It's a good practice to begin your time of prayer in gratitude, giving thanks to the Lord before petitioning Him for needs. Spend some time today focusing on who you're thankful for. Write down their names.
