“Whatever happens, Mike, make sure you conduct yourself in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ.” -Phil. 1:27a
I go back to the first time we looked at this verse and that word “whatever” stands out. It doesn’t matter what happens, I just need to make sure I conduct myself in a manner that reflects the glorious worth of the gospel.
Today is pretty simple: Lord, help me to immediately think upon these words whenever I find myself wanting to respond to situations in an unworthy manner. And then help me know what that conduct ought to be. Give me a heart of thanks in whatever circumstances I find myself.
