In Philippians 1 Paul models for us the ability to choose joy in spite of difficult circumstances. He views the world through an eternal lens and is convinced that as we obey, Christ will be exalted and the Gospel will be advanced. He encourages us by saying that God has begun a good work in us and will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.
