A Few Minutes in Philippians: Four Weeks of Daily Encouragement from the Epistle of Joy (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798303010031)

Come spend a few minutes in Philippians each day for the next four weeks! The book of Philippians holds priceless keys for any follower of Jesus who desires to heed the upward call of God in every season of life. Although the Apostle Paul wrote Philippians while confined to a Roman prison, the theme is not Paul's hardship-it is joy! Like no other book of the Bible, Philippians gives us a glimpse into the reality of living a life of gratitude and praise in the midst of life's most challenging circumstances. It is not lofty theology, it is the practical example of a life focused on the goodness of God rather than the temporary heartaches of this life. Paul never denies the harsh realities of his circumstances-instead, he models a life that has chosen to live above them.

The timeless wisdom of Philippians gives us the tools to live above our circumstances, too. In this four-week daily devotional, each week will focus on one of the four chapters of the book. Each day's reading will highlight a verse or two from that week's chapter along with some devotional content. At the end of each chapter there will be a few additional points to ponder and an activation to help you apply what you've read.

My hope and prayer is that as we spend a few minutes in Philippians each day, at the end of the four weeks you will have a greater revelation of God's heart for you in every season, additional tools for every challenge, and access to heaven's joy in every circumstance!
