Running the Race – #41

Philippians 4:14-16 – Nevertheless, you have done well to share with me in my affliction. You yourselves also know, Philippians, that at the first preaching of the gospel, after I left Macedonia, no church shared with me in the matter of giving and receiving but you alone; for even in Thessalonica you sent a gift more than once for my needs.
Philippians 4:14‭-‬16 NASB

There seems to be a lot of affliction going around right now. Between the social distancing and the COVID-19 virus and all the worry and anxiety that is producting, we all seem to have our things that we are struggling with.

Paul reminds the people that we can do all things through Christ, as we saw yesterday. However, part of that includes bearing each other’s burdens and lifting each other up. Are we walking with and sharing with others during this time or are we only focused on our own needs? How are we reaching out and allowing Christ to meet the needs of others through us?
