Contentment

Philippians gave us an inside look at what it means to joyfully sacrifice our lives for Jesus. It means we put other people before ourselves, we see our lives through the lens of eternity, and we find contentment in knowing Jesus no matter the circumstance. These closing verses remind us to live generous lives while also seeking contentment. They also point to the fact that God still works in our lives. As we close this series, consider the truths we explored by studying Philippians. Consider rereading the book slowly this week, revisiting what God’s taught you. Pray he’d solidify the lessons from this letter and ask him to show you one way you can choose to joyfully sacrifice this week.
