Limerick



There once was a man from the Lord,
Who said that life’s joys should be adored.
He thought it best to live for Christ,
And never try to resist.
So follow his words and be restored!

A practical way to respond to the teaching of Philippians 1.21-end is to focus on how Christ’s suffering can teach us about living a life of faith and service. We should consider what Paul says about being willing to accept whatever God has for us, and that He will use even our suffering to bring glory to Him. We should also take to heart Paul’s reminder that we are to be faithful to the end no matter what comes our way. Finally, we should strive to live our lives with joy and contentment in all circumstances, trusting God to provide for us and to use our circumstances to bring glory to His name. In doing so, we will demonstrate our trust in God and our desire to serve Him, just as Paul did.
