Philippians 4
Dear RTB’ers,
I have mentioned it before, of Paul writing in other letters, “Be imitators of me.” So, here again: What you have learned and received and heard and seen in me—practice these things. (v. 9) Brothers, join in imitating me, and keep your eyes on those who walk according to the example you have in us.. (v. 3:17) Paul is not afraid to set himself up as an example. So, what about us? Could we say to a young believer, “Be imitators of me”? If not, what’s lacking in our lives? What needs to change?
…think about these things … whatever is
- honorable,
- just,
- pure,
- lovely,
- commendable,
- excellent,
- worthy of praise… (v. 8)
…think about these things…
I’ll leave it at that. On to Ezekiel…
Blessings.

How many of us can say, we have learned to be content in whatever the circumstances??
I know I am not that person!
Oh no…!! I had you on a pedestal, Dan – someone who could be content in any and all circumstances! In fact, I’ve never seen you riled or disagreeable. I’m so sorry that you have to confess the exact opposite. 😊!!
Great post to reflect on…
And as Dan said, I am NOT that person! (Just ask Fred!)
I need to write these words on sticky notes to put them on my bathroom mirror. It would be a super way to orient my morning, as all of them are attributable to God: honorable/true, just, pure, lovely, commendable, excellent, worthy of praise.
