We too can worship with gladness when we lift our eyes above our momentary afflictions and focus on the innumerable blessings of eternity.
Philippians 1:9-11
"And this is my prayer; that your love may abound
more and more in knowledge
and depth of insight.
So that you may be able to discern
what is best and may be pure and blameless
until the day of Christ,
filled with the fruit of righteousness
that comes through Jesus Christ ~
to the glory and praise of God."
Heavenly Father, we feel the affliction of the world we live in. The restraints and rules that me must follow, but we have no experience in the afflictions the early Christians faced. So Paul writes this letter of encouragement. That our love may abound in the knowledge and insight of God's Word. That it would cause us to seek every day to live pure and blameless lives, filled with the fruit of righteousness that only come from Christ. And that our loves and devotion would bring praise and glory to our God and Savior, Christ Jesus. This is our prayer.
I love You.
Amen
