Today as our study of Philippians reached its final climax
Pastor Josh delivered a sermon aptly entitled “Life Hacks”
If we look at chapter four verse twelve of his exhortation
Paul gives us secrets of being content in every situation
Starting in verse thirteen, his first point we clearly see
“I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me”
God’s unlimited resources, Paul encourages us to use
But not only with the people we would normally choose
As a side note, he adds “don’t hear what I am not saying"
Our real messaging is evident in acts we are displaying
Each of us is blessed with talents, money, and/or time
Leveraging these to bless others should be our paradigm
That adage links to a oft-quoted promise from heaven
The “generous person will prosper” per Proverbs eleven
Remember that our eyes do not face in, but look out
For God’s kingdom is outward looking without a doubt
We should aim to please God until in heaven we arrive
This is what Paul conveyed in Second Corinthians five
And do not store treasures on earth, per Matthew six
For where our treasure is, our heart’s eyes will affix
