Day 9 - rewards for integrity
Slowly working through the A-Z and something that I've been trying to work on is the Philippians 4:11 challenge. Paul was a guy that sold out for Jesus, so in that sense he was doing everything right. But he ended up getting flogged, beaten to death, ship-wrecked, bitten by a snake, thrown into prison. Yet he says he had learnt that no matter what state he was in, he was content. Sometimes we put the effort in and don't get the rewards we expect. But we can learn to be content in Christ no matter what we go through in this life, knowing what's to come in the next.
