Homework:

• Memorize Philippians 3: 14
• Review memory work from last three weeks, Philippians 1: 4-5; Philippians 2: 4-5; and Philippians 3: 8
• Consider the three truths, and focus on the one you circled as having the most trouble with. Spend some time in prayer this week asking for God to help you change according to His will in that area of your life. Look for ways you can press on, or trust God. If it is contentment, think of the people or things God has given you, and thank Him for each one individually.
