Philippians 1:20
(Part 3)
SCRIPTURE
…so that now as
always
Christ will be
exalted
in my body,
whether by life
or by death
Philippians 1:20c
OBSERVATION
Paul
knows he is facing a possible death.
Yet
what he prays for is
courage
so
that,
live
or die,
Christ
will be exalted in his body.
If
he lives, I imagine
he
knows he faces more persecution.
If
he dies, I imagine
he
knows it will be a painful death.
His
ONLY wish is that
either
way
Christ
will be exalted.
APPLICATION
Events
have occurred tonight,
that
have increased my understanding
of
Paul’s situation even more.
http://adashofinspiration.tumblr.com/ post/63105357774 |
Consequently,
I
am amazed at Paul’s
faith,
strength,
determination
and
wisdom.
PRAYER
Oh,
LORD, thank You for Your provision and comfort.
Thank You that all things work together for the good of those who love
You.
Even
as many tonight are walking in the valley of the shadow of death, thank You
that they don’t walk alone, but with You.
Thank
You for Paul’s example of faith and courage in the face of extreme adversity
and possible death.
LORD,
Please
comfort
those
who mourn,
those
who grieve,
those
who are grappling with the unthinkable!
Please
let us celebrate
each
day
each
victory
each
good report
with
Your joy – after all
it
is Your joy
that
is our strength.
Help
us all to recognize and embrace
the
magical moments
of
everyday life
with
appreciation.
To Do Tuesday
Last week's list was ambitious, I realize that. I guess it's the teacher in me - always overplan! :)
10/18-10/25
Hand Sewing
X Finish potato chip
bags (4)
Cut
fabric

Quilting
:) Bind pot holders
Done!
The two original potholders were too thick and the binding one was terrible. So, I left one as a trivet. I cut the binding off the other and ended up with two potholders. I simply cut extra backing fabric (Moda Solids) and used that as a sort of self binding. Not sure what you call that method!
Thank you for your awesome encouragement and suggestions! :)
