Philippians 1:20c. To Do Tuesday!

Philippians 1:20 (Part 3)

SCRIPTURE

So now, my dear friends, we look at the last part of v. 20:

…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.

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. 

Amen. 

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

This one goes on next week's list!

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!  :)
