Philippians 2:3 We all love a little pat on the back along with acknowledgement and appreciation. But when our own egos become the main focus, no longer are we working for God.

May 5th – Philippians 3:13
Philippians 3:13 We can be our own worst enemies. Always replaying past mistakes in our head, never forgiving ourselves, and feeling too worthless for God.

March 1st – Philippians 4:1
Philippians 4:19 An old Indian proverb says, "a harvest of peace grows from seeds of contentment.” A wonderful but difficult sentiment.
