Reader’s Guide: “The Word for Today” Friday, July 26, 2013 Read – Philippians 4 As his letter ends Paul shares some personal notes with those he knows in Philippi. Again women are at the top of the list. Euodia and Syntyche are described as fully co-workers with Paul. Apparently a disagreement is threatening their ability to work together – Paul seeks harmony between them. As I mentioned earlier the church in Philippi was the most supportive church in Paul’s circle of churches and here he thanks them for their concern and aid. It is to people who know how to give that Paul can share a mystery – the mystery of being content in all circumstance and to know that God provides all we need. I think only those who know how to give can understand what Paul is saying in these verses. They are great stewardship verses. We need to remember that this is the Paul who is writing from prison! God is good and God provides!
