Philippians :Philippians Philippians 1:1 Lesson 7


Paul’s Letter to the Philippians :Paul’s Letter to the Philippians Scripture Reading Surely my soul remembers and is bowed down within me. This I recall to my mind, Therefore I have hope. The Lord’s loving kindnesses never cease, for His compassions never fail. It is of the LORD’S mercies that we are not consumed, because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness. “The Lord is my portion,” says my soul, “Therefore I have hope in Him.” The Lord is good to those who wait for Him, To the person who seeks Him. Lamentations 3: 20-25
