Philippians 1:1-2 (HCSB)
1 Paul and Timothy, slaves of Christ Jesus: To all the saints in Christ Jesus who are in Philippi, including the overseers and deacons.
2 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Observation:
Today, I look back at three of my favorite verses from Philippians, and I have heard from some of you that one or more of them are your favorites also.
These verses will encourage you as you seek to be all that God created you to be. God’s purpose for your life is that you would bring glory to Him, and that you would be a blessing to others.
Philippians 4:11 (HCSB)
11 I don’t say this out of need, for I have learned to be content in whatever circumstances I am.
Philippians 4:13 (HCSB)
13 I am able to do all things through Him who strengthens me.
Philippians 4:19 (HCSB)
19 And my God will supply all your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus.
In Christ, you can be who you are supposed to be, you can do what you are supposed to do, and you can have what you need to finish strong, and win the prize.
Philippians 1:6 (HCSB)
6 I am sure of this, that He who started a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.
Prayer:
Father, I am so thankful for the purpose, potential, and power that You give to Your people to be who You made us to be, and to do what You want us to do.
Father, help us to remember that the victory comes when we look to You as the source for all of our needs. Lord, give us a faith that will not falter or fail; so that we will finish the race, and receive the prize. In the mighty name of Jesus I pray, Amen.

Isaiah 55:11 (KJV)
11 So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.
