Divine Diagnosis
June 16, 2024
Philippians 1:1-11
I am confident of this, that the one who began a good work
in you will continue to complete it until the day of Jesus Christ.

A doctor must know something about a patient before they make a diagnosis. They look you over, take your pulse, blood pressure, and temperature, listen to your heart and lungs, and may have some imaging and blood tests done. Once they have enough information, they make a diagnosis.
The Apostle Paul knew quite a bit about the Christians in the city of Phillipi. From what he knows, he makes a diagnosis in which he has great confidence. They are doing great, and in and through them, God is going to do even more.
He is confident that they will fulfill God's plans for them.
What symptoms of health do our lives and faith exhibit? In what ways is God working in and through us?
