Philippians 4
This is a wonderful chapter on exhortations by Paul. Let the verses speak for themselves!

Verses to meditate on:
4Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice!
5Let your gentleness be known to all men. The Lord is at hand.
6Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; 7and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.


8Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy--meditate on these things. 9The things which you learned and received and heard and saw in me, these do, and the God of peace will be with you.


11Not that I speak in regard to need, for I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content: 12I know how to be abased, and I know how to abound. Everywhere and in all things I have learned both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need. 13I can do all things through Christ[b] who strengthens me.

19And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus. 20Now to our God and Father be glory forever and ever. Amen. (NKJV)

Today's Reading: Jeremiah 51-52; Philippians 3

READING LIST FOR BLENDED READINGS

Today's Old Testament Readings with personal comments, commentary links and other useful illustrations for Jeremiah 50

Philippians 3
In this chapter we are NOT to put confidence in the flesh (v. 1-11) and to press on toward the goal (Philippians 3.12-4-1)

Verses to meditate on:
7But whatever was to my profit I now consider loss for the sake of Christ. 8What is more, I consider everything a loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them rubbish, that I may gain Christ 9and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ—the righteousness that comes from God and is by faith. 10I want to know Christ and the power of his resurrection and the fellowship of sharing in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, 11and so, somehow, to attain to the resurrection from the dead.


12Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already been made
perfect, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. 13Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, 14I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.

Philippians 2
In this chapter we are to imitate Christ's humility.

Verses to meditate on:
5Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus:
6Who, being in very nature[a] God,
did not consider equality with God something to be grasped,
7but made himself nothing,
taking the very nature[b] of a servant,
being made in human likeness.
8And being found in appearance as a man,
he humbled himself
and became obedient to death—
even death on a cross!
9Therefore God exalted him to the highest place
and gave him the name that is above every name,
10that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,
in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
11and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord,
to the glory of God the Father.

Today's Old Testament Readings with personal comments, commentary links and other useful illustrations for Jeremiah 49

Philippians 1
Paul's purpose of this letter was to thank the Philippians for the gift they had sent him when they found out that he was in prison in Rome. He gave thanksgiving and prayer for them (v. 3-11) and he wanted them to know that his circumstances in prison further the spreading of the Gospel.

Verses to meditate on:
6 being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on
to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.


29 For it has been granted to you on behalf of Christ not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for him,

Jeremiah 6 Jerusalem under seige
Verse to meditate on: verse 16:

16 This is what the LORD says:
"Stand at the crossroads and look;
ask for the ancient paths,
ask where the good way is, and walk in it,
and you will find rest for your souls.
But you said, 'We will not walk in it.'

Jeremiah 7
False religion worthless
Verse to meditate on: verse 6:
6 I have listened attentively,
but they do not say what is right.
No one repents of his wickedness,
saying, "What have I done?"
Each pursues his own course
like a horse charging into battle.



Jeremiah 8
Sin and punishment
Verse to meditate on: verse 22:

22 Is there no balm in Gilead?
Is there no physician there?
Why then is there no healing
for the wound of my people?
