From
the Passion translation: "No matter what, I will continue to hope &
passionately cling to Christ, so that He will be openly revealed through me
before everyone’s eyes. So I will not be ashamed! In my life or in my death,
Christ will be magnified in me. My true life is the Anointed One, & dying
means gaining more of Him" Philippians 1:20-21 TPT.

What
was the purpose of Apostle Paul’s writing to Philippians
1:20-21? Reading commentary mentioned this: The Philippians’ Church was so discouraged
over Paul’s staying in prison for so long.
They had prayed for his prison's release and that didn’t happened. So
he wrote to encourage the church people that there is a victory for God’s
purpose in his imprisonment … is found in Philippians 1:12-30.
Paul
suffered in prison had advanced the Gospel of Jesus Christ. So Apostle Paul was
able to say, “No matter what, I will continue to hope & passionately cling
to Christ, so that He will be openly revealed through me before everyone’s
eyes. So I will not be ashamed! In my life or in my death, Christ will be
magnified in me. My true life is the Anointed One, & dying means gaining
more of Him” Philippians 1:20-21
TPT.
Dorothy:
That impressed me of how Paul respond to his being in prison for a long time. I
think we could relate this similar case with today’s crisis time because of the
strange plague that force many of us to stay home until the crisis time is over.
Prayer:
Dear Heavenly Father, we seek You to show us Your purpose for our lives. I believe You have been able to reach many
people who were too busy for You, now turn to You for salvation and to study
Your Word to find the purpose for their lives. Help us to turn the crisis time into blessings
time with You and Your Word, the Bible. Thank You for giving us the courage and
patience for working inside of us. In Jesus’ name. Amen!
I
was going over this song again and I felt something was missing so I checked
the Inspiring Choruses again and sure enough, one line missing … Sorry!
Song repeat with
correction on missing line.
Song: It gives Strength to
Me
It
give strength to me
as I worship Thee
And my mouth is
filled with praise.
He
will break the bands
as I lift my hands
And
give glorious liberty.

May
God bless you!
