“ For what can I be thankful?” Re stricted opportunity and restricting circum stances make thanksgiving difficult. Yet though conditions were so with Paul, the emphases in Philippians are mainly those o f thanksgiving. I. The Permanent Privileges of Prayer (3-g). w m & 1. Its exhilarating extravagance (vs. 3> 4>‘ I , 2. Its fellowship o f furtherance (v. 5 ). . , - 3. Its part in perfection (v. 6). 4. Its triumphant transcendence (vs. 7, 8). II. The Activity o f Abounding Affection (9-14). 1. The labor o f love (vs. 9-11). 2. The testimony o f trouble (vs. 12, 13). 3. The contagion o f courage (v. 14). III.

The service o f sacrifice the secret o f satisfaction (vs. 23-26). IV. The Satisfaction o f Spiritual Solidity ' (27-30). 1. Through steadfastness (v. 27). 2. Through boldness (vs. 28, 29). 3.
