Long ago an unknown man uttered an obscure prayer. God recorded that prayer to be an encouragement to each and every seemingly insignificant and unknown believer who has the boldness to pray and trust Him for great things.

Profiles in Providence #1
Phi 2:5-11 is a central passage in Philippians -- evidence of the Providence of God. Abraham's faith was tested when God asked him to sacrifice Isaac; he responded without hesitation. The mighty hand of God working in the lives of men. Providence of God works out His glory and our blessing in our circumstances: examples are the lives of Joseph, Ester, Daniel (Gen 50:20, Est 9:1, Dan 4;32). God cares about the details of circumstances (Mat 10:29, Luk 12:6, Mat 10:30, Rom 8:28-29, Eph 1:11-12).

Philippians 1:12 starts out "Now I want you to know brethren that my circumstances have turned out for the greater progress of the Gospel". It's a key verse in the letter Paul wrote to those faithful believers while he was in chains.
