Circumstances??
Philippians 1:12-14 (NASB)
12 Now I want you to know, brethren, that my circumstances have turned out for the greater progress of the gospel,
13 so that my imprisonment in the cause of Christ has become well known throughout the whole praetorian guard and to everyone else,
14 and that most of the brethren, trusting in the Lord because of my imprisonment, have far more courage to speak the word of god without fear.
+++++++++++++++++++
How many times when asked how we were doing, have we said, "Very well, under the circumstances!" Or something like that?
Paul's circumstances was prison. He could look and see good from that. So my challenge is this: Whatever your circumstance, look and see what God is doing? He will be glorified!
