Here in Paul's Letter to the Philippians the Apostle Paul thanks the Philippians for the willingness of their hearts as they reach out to him while he is in a Roman prison after what scholars believe to be 2 years of no contact. Even in Paul's time of apparent suffering, he rejoices at the Philippians care of him, and assures them that God has provided everything he needs, and God will do the same for them by and through Christ Jesus. We struggle with placing our own fleshly wants above the needs of others, but God has provided a way for us to make a difference in the world around us, as long as we don't allow Satan and the desires of the flesh to lead us astray. When we put Christ first and foremost in our life we will be provided opportunity after opportunity to lift one another up and rejoice him. If we solely pursue our superficial happiness we will bring suffering to ourselves and our neighbors. When The Lord blesses us, let us be willing to be used by God to bless our neighbors.
