Delighted & Contented

Proverbs 31:10-31 An excellent wife, who can find?For her worth is far above jewels.11 The heart of her husband trusts in her,And he will have no lack of gain.12 She does him good and not evilAll the days of her life.13 She looks for wool and flaxAnd works with her hands in delight.14 She is like merchant ships;She brings her food from afar.15 She rises also while it is still nightAnd gives food to her householdAnd portions to her maidens.16 She considers a field and buys it;From her earnings she plants a vineyard.17 She girds herself with strengthAnd…

Trustworthy: The Synonym of Faithfulness

Proverbs 4:22-27 For they are life to those who find themAnd health to all their body.23 Watch over your heart with all diligence,For from it flow the springs of life.24 Put away from you a deceitful mouthAnd put devious speech far from you.25 Let your eyes look directly aheadAnd let your gaze be fixed straight in front of you.26 Watch the path of your feetAnd all your ways will be established.27 Do not turn to the right nor to the left;Turn your foot from evil.

Biblical Excellence

Proverbs 31:10-31 10 An excellent wife, who can find?For her worth is far above jewels.11 The heart of her husband trusts in her,And he will have no lack of gain.12 She does him good and not evilAll the days of her life.13 She looks for wool and flaxAnd works with her hands in delight.14 She is like merchant ships;She brings her food from afar.15 She rises also while it is still nightAnd gives food to her householdAnd portions to her maidens.16 She considers a field and buys it;From her earnings she plants a vineyard.17 She girds herself with strengthAnd…

The Kinsman Redeemer

Ephesians 2:16-18 16 and might reconcile them both in one body to God through the cross, by it having put to death the enmity. 17 And He came and preached peace to you who were far away, and peace to those who were near; 18 for through Him we both have our access in one Spirit to the Father.

Pleasure in Participation

Philippians 4:15-23 15 You yourselves also know, Philippians, that at the first preaching of the gospel, after I left Macedonia, no church shared with me in the matter of giving and receiving but you alone; 16 for even in Thessalonica you sent a gift more than once for my needs. 17 Not that I seek the gift itself, but I seek for the profit which increases to your account. 18 But I have received everything in full and have an abundance; I am amply supplied, having received from Epaphroditus what you have sent, a fragrant aroma, an acceptable…

The Foundation of Satisfaction

Philippians 4:10-14 10 But I rejoiced in the Lord greatly, that now at last you have revived your concern for me; indeed, you were concerned before, but you lacked opportunity. 11 Not that I speak from want, for I have learned to be content in whatever circumstances I am. 12 I know how to get along with humble means, and I also know how to live in prosperity; in any and every circumstance I have learned the secret of being filled and going hungry, both of having abundance and suffering need. 13 I…

Struggling to Rejoicing

Philippians 4:4-9 Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice! 5 Let your gentle spirit be known to all men. The Lord is near. 6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. 7 And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. 8 Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything…

Where’s My Crown?

Philippians 4:1-3 Therefore, my beloved brethren whom I long to see, my joy and crown, in this way stand firm in the Lord, my beloved. 2 I urge Euodia and I urge Syntyche to live in harmony in the Lord. 3 Indeed, true companion, I ask you also to help these women who have shared my struggle in the cause of the gospel, together with Clement also and the rest of my fellow workers, whose names are in the book of life.

Patterns of Proof

Philippians 3:17-21 17 Brethren, join in following my example, and observe those who walk according to the pattern you have in us. 18 For many walk, of whom I often told you, and now tell you even weeping, that they are enemies of the cross of Christ, 19 whose end is destruction, whose god is their appetite, and whose glory is in their shame, who set their minds on earthly things. 20 For our citizenship is in heaven, from which also we eagerly wait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ; 21 who will transform the body of our humble state into conformity with the body of His glory, by…
