This year, as we face a different kind of Christmas following a very hard year, we all need reminders that our joy begins (and ends) with the love displayed from the manger to the cross.

Giving thanks for God's good gifts seems like a natural choice for Christians. But there are many times in life when it is hard to be thankful - times of disappointment, grief, and spiritual drought. The book of Philippians guides us towards habits of thanksgiving that can last through our whole lives, despite our circumstances. This 15 day series invites you to develop these habits of a thankful heart.

"Be still, and know that I am God;" (PSALM 46:10a). Many Christians are familiar with this verse, but do we really understand it? This exhortation applies when we are distracted by our successes, as when we are fearful and disquieted by some troublesome news. We must learn to quiet ourselves by opening God’s Word and gaining His perspective in both cases.

Paul wrote the book of Philippians to the church in Philippi around 60 A.D., and it's filled with verses of thanksgiving and joy. And even though Paul wrote what is now considered one of the most joyful books in the Bible, he wrote it while in prison. He didn't let his circumstances stop him from rejoicing and giving gratitude to God, and neither should we. As we read Philippians, we're challenged to follow Paul's example of joy no matter the situation, ultimately learning to follow Jesus with our hearts and our lives.

Paul is in prison, and his situation seems hopeless. And yet, he rejoices? For good reason, the letter to the Philippians is known as the "Epistle of Joy." Paul invites us into his inner world, showing how a peace and joy that surpass all understanding are possible through a relationship with Jesus (cf. Philippians 4:7). This 17-day reading plan will guide you through the letter to the Philippians—ideal for personal or group study. Be encouraged anew to fix your eyes on Christ, no matter your current situation.
