📘 Devotion: Welcome to the Epistle of Philippians

Opening Statement:

Welcome, family, to a new journey through one of the most joyful and Christ-centered letters of the New Testament — the Epistle of Paul to the Philippians. This letter was written by Apostle Paul while in prison, yet it overflows with gratitude, joy, and encouragement.

📖 Scripture Reading

Open your Bibles to Philippians 1:1–23.

Today, we begin with chapter 1, verses 1 to 23.

📖 Please take time to read the full chapter in the New Living Translation (NLT).

As you read, reflect carefully and slowly. Ask the Holy Spirit to open your heart to what He’s saying to you personally through this chapter.

🧠 Reflection Questions

Here are a few questions to help you meditate deeply:

1. What verse or phrase stood out to you most as you read?

2. How does Paul’s attitude in prison challenge your current mindset?

3. What does “fruitful labor” (verse 22) mean in your life right now?

4. Do you sense the same joy and confidence in Christ that Paul expresses?

5. How does this chapter shape your understanding of Christian purpose and identity?

🙌 Final Word

We are not just reading letters; we are receiving life. Paul’s words are alive with divine wisdom, and they carry the same power to encourage and transform us today.

Let this be your prayer today:

“Lord, as I read Philippians, speak to my heart. Help me to live with purpose, joy, and boldness, just like Paul.”
