Welcome to Day 2321 of Wisdom-Trek. Thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to\xa0Wisdom Philippians-4 Between a Rock and a Hard Place \u2013 Daily Wisdom Putnam Church Message \u2013 11/26/2023 Joy in Living \u2013 Between a Rock and a Hard Place Last week, we continued this month of Joy in Living as we dug into the letter of Philippians in a message titled What a Way to Live. We discovered that the secret to living well is the same as the secret to having joy: the centrality of Jesus Christ. Keeping Him as our top priority in life will give us great joy. \xa0 Today is our last message in the section of Philippians called Joy in Living, and it will focus on Dealing with Dilemmas as we see how Paul found himself \u201cBetween a Rock and a Hard Place.\u201d \xa0 We are backing up to include one verse from last week to set the tone for today. Let\u2019s read Philippians 1:20-30, on page 1826 in your Pew Bibles. 20\xa0I eagerly expect\xa0and hope that I will in no way be ashamed, but will have sufficient courage\xa0so that now as always Christ will be exalted in my body,\xa0whether by life or by death.\xa021\xa0For to me, to live is Christ\xa0and to die is gain.\xa022\xa0If I am to go on living in the body, this will mean fruitful labor for me. Yet what shall I choose? I do not know!\xa023\xa0I am torn between the two: I desire to depart\xa0and be with Christ,\xa0which is better by far;\xa024\xa0but it is more necessary for you that I remain in the body.\xa025\xa0Convinced of this, I know that I will remain, and I will continue with all of you for your progress and joy in the faith,\xa026\xa0so that through my being with you again your boasting in Christ Jesus will abound on account of me. Live as Citizens of Heaven 27\xa0Whatever happens, conduct yourselves in a manner worthy\xa0of the gospel of Christ. Then, whether I come and see you or only hear about you in my absence, I will know that you stand firm\xa0in the one Spirit,[e]\xa0striving together\xa0as one for the faith of the gospel\xa028\xa0without being frightened in any way by those who oppose you. This is a sign to them that they will be destroyed, but that you will be saved\u2014and that by God.\xa029\xa0For it has been granted to you\xa0on behalf of Christ not only to believe in him, but also to suffer\xa0for him,\xa030\xa0since you are going through the same struggle\xa0you saw\xa0I had, and now hear\xa0that I still have. \xa0 Have you ever waffled between two different\u2014and reasonable\u2014opinions, unable to decide which one to hold? Or have you thrown your hands up in frustration because you couldn\u2019t land on a conclusive decision between two equally favorable options? Or have you driven your friends and family mad, seeking their advice about which course of action to take? Or wrung your hands over a decision, worried that you were about to make the wrong one? (funny story window/isle & regular/decaf). \xa0 For most of you, welcome to the club of difficulty when facing decisions or dilemmas. To one extent or another, we\u2019ve all been there. And by \u201call,\u201d I mean...
