Philippians 1:1-6

I mentioned in my "resolutions" blog entry that I am trying to memorize the book of Philippians this year. Here are my verses for this week if you're looking for a challege as well...

v.1 Paul and Timothy, slaves of Christ Jesus: To all the saints in Christ Jesus who are in Philippi, including the overseers and deacons. v.2 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. v.3 I give thanks to my God for every remembrance of you, v. 4 always praying with joy for all of you in my every prayer, v.5 because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now. v.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.

What a promise and great news that we are still a work in progress and will be until the Lord returns to claim his own. I don't know about you but that allows me to take a deep breath on this Friday morning. I know in my heart and mind that I have a long way to go in this journey but what a relief to know that God not only knows that but orchestrated it that way.

Happy Friday!
