Confident: Wednesday May 27 - Mid Day

Philippians 2:19-30
19 I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you soon, that I also may be cheered when I 
receive news about you. 20 I have no one else like him, who will show genuine concern for your 
welfare. 21 For everyone looks out for their own interests, not those of Jesus Christ. 22 But you 
know that Timothy has proved himself, because as a son with his father he has served with me in 
the work of the gospel. 23 I hope, therefore, to send him as soon as I see how things go with me. 
24 And I am confident in the Lord that I myself will come soon. 25 But I think it is necessary to 
send back to you Epaphroditus, my brother, co-worker and fellow soldier, who is also your 
messenger, whom you sent to take care of my needs. 26 For he longs for all of you and is 
distressed because you heard he was ill. 27 Indeed he was ill, and almost died. But God had 
mercy on him, and not on him only but also on me, to spare me sorrow upon sorrow. 28 Therefore 
I am all the more eager to send him, so that when you see him again you may be glad and I may 
have less anxiety. 29 So then, welcome him in the Lord with great joy, and honor people like him, 
30 because he almost died for the work of Christ. He risked his life to make up for the help you 
yourselves could not give me.
