An Ancient Letter

Again we have an example how the Lord wants us to be. We shouldn’t get so wrapped up in our own problems that we ignore the problems of others. They were following the example of Paul in not letting their own circumstance get in the way of ministering to other. And this is an example we all need to follow.

So inclosing a just want to challenge you to follow the example of Paul and the people of Philippi. Don’t allow circumstances to get in the way of the joy which can be found in the Lord. Paul certainly didn’t, yet his circumstances were much worst then anyone in this room. yet to him there was plenty of reason to rejoice in the Lord.

Don’t let your circumstance get in the way of prayer. We all are busy people, yet we never to busy for prayer, and we really cannot afford no to pray. Let us Paul as an example of how and how often we should pray.

We should not allow our circumstances get in the way of preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ. Pray for opportunities, witness to those who are open, invite them to church, witness to the Lord by your action just as Paul did.

And finally don’t allow your circumstances to get in the way of you being an encouragement to other. Encourage one another as we see Paul and the Phillippian people doing here. Left one another up in the Lord, ministering to one another. And when we begin to practice these things as Paul did we will begin to find the joy in the Lord that Paul found. We will begin to see the secret Paul found, the secret to true happiness to life.

SHALL WE PRAY
