Philippians, Day 5 Readings
The Good Life, Even in Hard Times
Today's reading provides the fitting conclusion of Paul's letter to the Philippians. Having praised their faithfulness, Paul simply encourages them to continue living out their faith as they have been. They need to take care of each other, focus on the good things they can do for each other, and have joy in their purpose for God, even when times are tough. If they do these things, exemplified through their consistent and selfless financial support of Paul's ministry, they will receive God's blessings -- some in this world and many more in the next.
