Paul uses three thoughts that describe true Christian Fellowship:
When things are “going our way” we are usually a lot happier and much easier to live with. However very few circumstances of life are really under our control. We have no control over the weather, over the traffic on the roads we are traveling, or over the things people say and do. The person whose happiness depends on ideal circumstances is going to be miserable most of the time. Yet, here is the apostle Paul in the worst of circumstances writing a letter filled with joy!
Application
It is so easy to let the circumstances of this life control my attitude and thinking rather than keep my mind centered on the Word of God and how I can please the Lord in what I say and what I do. This week, I want my circumstances to bring me closer to the Lord and closer to my friends so I can make my life really count for Him and not just waste it in things that will make me comfortable.
