Monday
Philippians 1:17
Others do not have pure motives as they preach about You, Christ. They preach with selfish ambition, not sincerely, intending to make my chains more painful to me.
Tuesday
Philippians 1:18
But whether or not their motives are pure, the fact remains that the message about You, Christ, is being preached, so I rejoice. And I will continue to rejoice.
Wednesday
Philippians 1:19
For I know that as others pray for me and as Your Spirit, Jesus, helps me, this will all turn out for my deliverance.
Thursday
Philippians 1:20
For I live in eager expectation and hope that I will never do anything that causes me shame, but that I will always be bold for You, Christ, as I have been in the past, and that my life will always honor You, Christ, whether I live or I die.
Friday
Philippians 1:21
For to me, living is for You, Christ, and dying is even better.
