Philippians 2:19-30
Very different than the rest of this letter, Paul talks about his travel plans and especially his relationship with two close friends: Timothy and Epaphroditus. Complimenting them both, Paul highlights attributes such as a genuine concern for the welfare of others, a servant’s heart, and a same-souled passion for the lost. How can we make friends like these men? How can we be a friend like these men? And will we put as our most prized friendship, the friendship we are invited into with God through his son Jesus Christ?
The Lord is My Shepherd
What does it mean for the Lord to be our Shepherd? According to David in Psalm 23, it means that we shall never be in want of anything. We will be made to slow down, quiet down, and sit down. Our souls will be restored and whole, like they were designed to be from the beginning. We shall not fear evil or death – no matter what we’re facing. Many of us know the Psalm… Let’s make sure we know the Shepherd.
