Why is this happening to me (Philippians 1:12-18)

Why is this happening to me? Ever asked that question? I have! Whether I’m stuck in traffic or on the line with a customer service rep, it seems like life affords me plenty of opportunities to ask why. And as annoying as some days in life can be, the reality is that other days are just plain hard. It’s easy to wonder why. Why has God allowed me to go through this?

 

If anyone could have asked why, it was the apostle Paul. Here was this guy who had given his life to Jesus, and given his soul to others, and found himself stuck in a prison cell. In today’s lesson, we’re going to see why it never even occurred to Paul to ask why. He was too busy living pointing to Jesus. He was too busy making each moment count for the Lord. I don’t know about you, but that’s the kind of untouchable joy that my heart longs for.
