Philippians 1:18-20

"And I will continue to rejoice. For I know that as you pray for me and the Spirit of Jesus Christ helps me, this will lead to my deliverance. For I fully expect and hope that I will never be ashamed, but that I will continue to be bold for Christ, as I have been in the past. And I trust that my life will bring honor to Christ, whether I live or die."

Wow!! This is just so powerful to me in so many ways!

"And I will continue to rejoice." Paul always rejoiced, even when he was in prison!!! He rejoiced!

"For I know that as you pray for me and the Spirit of Jesus Christ helps me, this will lead to my deliverance." Paul's faith was so great! (In people and in Jesus) He was not only confident but HE KNEW that the church was praying & JESUS WAS HELPING HIM & HE WOULD BE DELIVERED!

"For I fully expect and hope that I will never be ashamed, but that I will continue to be bold for Christ, as I have been in the past." Paul was always bold for something, and he was so very bold for Christ! **Lord, I pray for boldness! That I will never be embarrassed to share you with others! For you are the one who created this world, you formed every mountain, river, ocean! You designed everything and everyone.. I should never be ashamed of you, look at all that you have done for me!**

"And I trust that my life will bring honor to Christ, whether I live or die." That is a powerful sentence! I sometimes forget that life is short, we are mortal, we are born, we live for a little, we die. Our life stories are unpredictable! But God knows! & I pray he is written on everyone of my pages!
