Philippians Perspective: What Do We Do Now?
What Do We Do Now?
Philippians 4:2 “I plead with Euodia and I plead with Syntyche to be of the same mind in the Lord.”
Point 1: In times of uncertainty, we Praise!
Philippians 4:4: Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!
1 Samuel 30:6 But David encouraged himself in the Lord his God.
Psalm 103:2 Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits.
POINT 2: In times of uncertainty, we Pray!
Philippians 4:6-8 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.
2 Kings 6:16-17 “Don’t be afraid,” the prophet answered. “Those who are with us are more than those who are with them.” 17 And Elisha prayed, “Open his eyes, Lord, so that he may see.” Then the Lord opened the servant’s eyes, and he looked and saw the hills full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha.
POINT 3: In times of uncertainty, we Stay on Mission.
Philippians 4:9 Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.
POINT 4: In times of uncertainty, remember, Jesus is your source.
Philippians 4:13 I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. 13 I can do all this through him who gives me strength.
Paul said it best: I’ve known what it’s like to have plenty, and I’ve known what it’s like to go without. But no matter what, I’m good—because I’ve got JESUS.
Philippians 4:19 And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:20 To our God and Father be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
