We’ve been spending some time here in this prominent prayer that Paul prays for this church at Phillipi. Sometimes we think prayers need to be long and formal, yet Paul prays this prayer in about 50 words and only one sentence. The depth, the weight, the doctrine and the truth that drips from this prayer is just absolutely outstanding. The way the prayer is structured is just fantastic as well. There is a progression that begins with a challenge to love more and more with a knowledge of the Gospel, using discernment, then it flows into the reason behind that challenge it’s to help us be ready for the day of Christ and then the prayer reminds us of the result of the challenge “To be filled with the righteousness of Christ” and then it triumphantly ends with these words “to the glory and praise of God.”
