Bible Question:
I feel that God wants me to lead a Bible study in my highschool's Bible Club. (Which I attend.) I have been taking notes on Phillipians 4:13. It's one of my favorite verses. I would love for someone to help me make some good notes on the verse. (Maybe even verses that are along the same lines. Those would help too.) I would really like to go in depth with this verse. If you can provide any help at all I would greatly appreciate it. Please reply or (even better) e-mail me at smilejesuslovesyou07@yahoo.com Thanks! And God Bless! |
Bible Answer: Scripture ... Philippians 4:8-13 ............ Sweetie4Him, greetings. Many people take this verse as their life verse ... which is okay if taken in the context. I think it starts in verse 8, with the word "Finally ..." Nevertheless (vs 14) may start a new thought ... it is about the gift they sent. Verses 8-9 are about our thought life and verses 10-13 is being content ... which I relate to being content. He was happy to get the gift ... but, his focus was on the one who strengthens him ... the key to contentment and giving him the ability to do all things ... through Him. If we depend on the gifts, being rich or poor ... we will be weak. These are thoughts that came to me as a wrote ... continue to study this section yourself, as you have already. Finally, remember Philippians was written without any punctuation, sentences, paragraphs ... so it is important to look at the entire letter to see why this phrase is here. |
