Good day everyone. In today's devotional, we read through the entire book of Philippians, quite and interesting read. My emphasis today is on the prayers Paul prayed for the church in Philippi. "May God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ give you grace and peace.
"
Philippians 1:2 NLT. Paul prays this same prayer in all his letters to churches. Grace and peace to be Christ's ambassadors. "I pray that your love will overflow more and more, and that you will keep on growing in knowledge and understanding.
"
Philippians 1:9 NLT. If there is a knowledge and understanding every believer needs to grow in, it is the knowledge and understanding of love. Paul says in the next verse that it is what really matters and that it is the secret to living pure and blameless lives. "May you always be filled with the fruit of your salvation—the righteous character produced in your life by Jesus Christ—for this will bring much glory and praise to God.
"
Philippians 1:11 NLT. Wow, you know what certainly brings glory to God? It is righteous character in our lives as we represent Jesus.
