Quiet Time Thoughts on 10-22-08
I woke up feeling sad this morning and didn’t know why until I looked at the calendar. (It seems that this happens every month on the 22nd.) I asked God to encourage me in my QT and He was faithful as always. This is not about Phil. 4, because I don’t really know how to do this Biblefox thing very well yet but I think it is really cool. The Amplified version of 1:12 says, “Now I want you to know and continue to rest assured, brethren, that what has happened to me has actually only served to advance and give a renewed impetus to the sperading of the good news.” 1:19 says, “I shall rejoice for I am well assured that through your prayers and a bountiful supply of the Spirit of Jesus, what has happened to me will turn out for my presevation, spiritual health and welfare of my own soul and avail toward the saving work of the Gospel.”
When Paul says, “what has happened to me” he’s talking about being in prison but I’m appying it to losing Marshall. It’s encouraging to know that our difficult circumstances and our sufferings are ordained by God to advance the gospel and cause our own spiritual growth and wellbeing. Today I got to share the gospel with one of my classmates, Jennifer. Please pray for her!

Mom, good job posting on Biblefox!! I enjoyed your post. And I am glad that you got to share the gospel with your friend Jennifer.
If you want to change the Scripture that you reference. You can just go to the passage you want to write about and hit write about this passage. You can also change it in the box below the writing box that says “Scripture Referenced”.
