Heartlight Daily Verse
by Phil Ware
September 14
Philippians 2:1-2
If you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any
comfort from his love, if any fellowship with the Spirit, if any
tenderness and compassion, then make my joy complete by being
like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and
purpose.
Thoughts on today's verse
Our call to sacrificially submit ourselves to others does not begin with
our sacrifice, but with God's blessings. The actual grammatical
construction of this is better translated with all the "if"s
changed to "since"! We are called to unity in spirit and
purpose after having received all these blessings from being in
Jesus!
Prayer:
Holy and righteous Father, you have blessed me so richly in Jesus. Open
my eyes to see how those around me in my spiritual family need to receive
those same blessings from me. Through Jesus I pray. Amen.'

The LORD your God in your midst,
The Mighty One, will save;
He will rejoice over you with gladness,
He will quiet you with His love,
He will rejoice over you with singing.
~
Zephaniah 3:17 (NKJV)
