For I know that as you pray for me and as the Spirit of Jesus Christ helps me, this will all turn out for my deliverance. Philippians 1:19 NLT
Paul understood that as the work of Christ was being done, regardless of the motivation, that God was going to work a plan to bring about his deliverance. Paul was basically restating his more famous verse which tells us that “God works all things together for good”. Paul knew that as long as people did the work of Christ, Christ’s work would be done. (Pretty profound, huh?)
Are you conscious of the fact that God is working His plan? Regardless of your situation, how bad it is, how desperate you feel, God is in control. He knows the future and to Him it looks wonderful.
Paul was in prison as he wrote this letter to the Philippians. He couldn’t have been in much more horrible conditions. Paul knew that in spite of all that he was enduring, the greatest days of his life were still to come.
If you are a Christian, you can have the same assurance as Paul. Say to yourself right now a truth from God’s Word, “This will all turn out for my deliverance.” To God be the glory!
