Seeking God’s Pleasure – A Study of Philippians

“Stand Firm in the Lord”
Philippians 4:1-7
What does this command mean? In the Philippian context, it means at least: that all conflicts are to submit to agreement in the Lord, with help if necessary from others who are mature in the Lord; that joy will be a discipline of life as we keep our focus on Christ; likewise that forbearance (tolerance and patience) will mark our lives as we recognize that “the Lord is at hand; ” and that peace will evidence itself as we rest in the certainty that God will hear and answer our pleas for help.
