Circumstances don’t matter. “To live is Christ, and to die is gain.” The message of Philippians is that life is lived for Him, to Him, through Him, with Him, about Him, and in Him. That’s where Paul goes once again. As in Romans 16, he cannot help but exult, can’t help but sing! “To our God and Father be glory forever and ever. Amen” (Phil. 4:20). Rejoice, rejoice, rejoice. God is big enough, beautiful enough, strong enough, lovely enough, perfect enough, sustaining enough in any circumstance. Wherever you are, He is with you, always.
