"THANK YOU LORD"

I thank my God every time I remember you. It is right for me to feel this way about all if you, since I have you in my heart."
Philippians 1:3,7

When it comes to different style of writing, the apostle Paul was a versatile author. When writing to the Galatians, sounded fighting mad as he told them in no uncertain terms they were off track. When he wrote to the Romans, he came off sounding like a theology professor. When he addressed Christians in the book of Thessalonians, Paul sounded like a youth leader.
    But Paul's letter to the Philippians is different from the rest. Philippians is not a theology lesson or a manual on how to solve problems. Philippians is a thank you letter and, because of that, Paul doesn't watch HIs words but writes stream of joyful remembrances and encouragements. You can tell that he had fun with his pen and paper.
     How poignantly Paul writes his thank-you letter from a dark, stinking prison cell. That he can say "be anxious about nothing" and "I've learned to be content" while in bruising chains makes the book of Philippians all the more joyful.
     You may not be in an actual prison, but like apostle, you may feel chained to a few unpleasant circumstances. If so, are you still able to writes a thank-you letter to God. This is it! take time to flip open to the book Philippians and peruse the finest thank you letter ever written and make a prayer request this day be a relentless and keep advancing.
     Lord I want to thank You for every good and perfect gift with which You"be blessed my life. For friends and family. . .  for miles cool and sunny days. . . for your grace, which gives joy and peace. . . and run the race that set before us and You are with us That i can say Thank You Lord!!
