Reader’s Guide: “The Word for Today” Tuesday, April 23, 2013 Read – Philippians 4 How does one come to experience joy? Certainly from outward appearances Paul’s life was at best a mixed bag. He says that he has known prosperity, but he has also known loss. Yet in all things Paul has discovered the joy of being a follower of Jesus. As we conclude our reading of Philippians we are invited to reflect upon Paul’s experience and how the death and resurrection affected his life. His letter has been an uplifting one and motivates us to stronger faith.
