Spend a month with Philippians and you will be ready for a lifetime of challenge. Spend thirty days with this ancient letter and you’ll be ready for good days and tough days, for days of great pleasure and days of great pain. Take the message here and store it in your heart, and you will become a person of impact who shines like a star in the universe. Once you learn that “to live is Christ and to die is gain,” there is nothing that can take from you that deep sense of joy.
