DAILY READINGS: 1 Kings 11; Jeremiah 19-20; Philippians:4:2-23 [2] I beseech Euodias, and beseech Syntyche, that they be of the same mind in the Lord.
[3] And I intreat thee also, true yokefellow, help those women which laboured with me in the gospel, with Clement also, and with other my fellowlabourers, whose names are in the book of life.
[4] Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice.
[5] Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand.
[6] Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
[7] And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
[8] Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
[9] Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you.
[10] But I rejoiced in the Lord greatly, that now at the last your care of me hath flourished again; wherein ye were also careful, but ye lacked opportunity.
[11] Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content.
[12] I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound: every where and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need.
[13] I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.
[14] Notwithstanding ye have well done, that ye did communicate with my affliction.
[15] Now ye Philippians know also, that in the beginning of the gospel, when I departed from Macedonia, no church communicated with me as concerning giving and receiving, but ye only.
[16] For even in Thessalonica ye sent once and again unto my necessity.
[17] Not because I desire a gift: but I desire fruit that may abound to your account.
[18] But I have all, and abound: I am full, having received of Epaphroditus the things which were sent from you, an odour of a sweet smell, a sacrifice acceptable, wellpleasing to God.
[19] But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
[20] Now unto God and our Father be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
[21] Salute every saint in Christ Jesus. The brethren which are with me greet you.
[22] All the saints salute you, chiefly they that are of Caesar's household.
[23] The grace of our LORD Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen. (The following was added by editors of the KJV:To the Philippians written from Rome, by Epaphroditus)

Israel [3] is not like any other nation. God formed this nation “for myself”. It is the only nation on the face of the earth formed for God’s purposes and pleasure. Even though they have strayed and suffered over the centuries, God has not finished with Israel [3], for He states, “They shall shew forth my praise.” He promises, “I will place salvation [4] in Zion for Israel [3] my glory” (Isa:46:13I bring near my righteousness; it shall not be far off, and my salvation shall not tarry: and I will place salvation in Zion for Israel my glory.
See All... [5]). These promises are not to other nations or the Church. Israel [3] has a future with God! There is nothing men can do about it, because God has promised it. Believers should pray for her salvation [4], blessing and peace. —Carl Knott

Great is Thy faithfulness, Oh God my Father,
There is no shadow of turning with Thee. —Thomas Chisholm
