It is not us but God who is in control and we can trust him for what he gives us. Our time is in his hands for us to use for him.

Paul, chained in prison in Rome takes a high level view to encourage the Philippians . He writes that for him to live is Christ, to die is gain.

Encourage one another to walk in truth, obey God's commands, and show love.

Build on the solid joys of our adoption, sanctification and ultimate glorification from God not hevel..

Everything is never enough yet gifts received from God's hand make us glad. When Christ becomes our "gain" everything else finds its proper place. Technical problems needed a different mic after 15 mins. so sounnd changes.

We have the sure hope of Jesus who promises to make "all things new" whilst we remain in an uncertain world.

Like Joseph and Mary we must commit to following God's plan even when the future is unclear.

Trust in Jesus' who knows the future. Too wise to make a mistake, too loving to do us harm

In Philippians 3:12 Paul says "I Press on.." How we could more closely align our lives to God's plan in 2026

Learning from Joseph who dreamt, endured disasters yet had a divine destiny to serve others.
