Word of the Day, Philippians
1:23 For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ; which is far better:1:24 Nevertheless to abide in the flesh is more needful for you.1:25 And having this confidence, I know that I shall abide and continue with you all for your furtherance and joy of faith;1:26 That your rejoicing may be more abundant in Jesus Christ for me by my coming to you again.1:27 Only let your conversation be as it becometh the gospel of Christ: that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel;1:28 And in nothing terrified by your adversaries: which is to them an evident token of perdition, but to you of salvation, and that of God.1:29 For unto you it is given in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for his sake;1:30 Having the same conflict which ye saw in me, and now hear to be in me.
We all have this struggle. Ready for the Lord to take us home. But I was also wondering about the people I care about. Same God that will get me through will get them through. This is the promise God has made us. Psalm37:25 I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.
