A cold snap hit on Friday two weeks ago.  One result was that a number of regulars at our nursing home ministry were left in their beds to stay warm!

Many of us face circumstances in our life that “freeze” our souls and cause us to want to stay in bed.  The apostle Paul was languishing in a prison cell in Rome.  He wrote his letter to the Philippians while in goal.

What kept Paul going? What fixed Paul’s soul? His answer was Christ.

It was partnership with the Philippians in the gospel and it was thankful, passionate prayer.

Paul lived and preached Christ whatever the circumstance!  He was doing his bit to build God’s kingdom for eternity.  We are called to follow in his footsteps.
