Read the NT in 10 Weeks - Philippians

Philippians 4:12-13
12 I know how to be abased, and I know how to abound. Everywhere and in all things I have learned both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need. 13 I can do all things in Christ who strengthens me.
This verse doesn't really sum up Philippians to me, but it stood out, and seemed like a good reminder to trust in God and not myself.

In Philippians I can really see Paul being thankful for a church that has followed Christ. The people of Philipi were truly a comfort to their pastor. They shared in spreading the gospel (1:5), they were faithful even while persecuted (1:29), and they supported Paul as he ministered to others (4:10-18). Paul even tells the Philippians that they are his encouragement to live in a way (1:24-26).

Can we be as encouraging to our pastor's? and as faithful to Jesus Christ our savior?
