Today we begin our journey into Paul's letter to the believers at Philippi. Based on our joy, being aware of God's grace and favor in our lives, are we thankful for other believers in our lives? Do we have confidence in our salvation based on that joy? Do we study the Word of God and reach others for the Gospel based on our joy? Are we filled with the fruit of righteousness? Paul's letter help us to understand what true joy is, in the partnership of the Gospel.
