No one can maintain the free run of faith solely under his or her own efforts. We all need to be hydrated. There are several things God has provided for us, like being near to him and being near to each other, that help keep the spiritual H20 flowing in our hearts until we reach the finish line.

The LUP Bible passage for today is a review or catch-up of the entire first chapter of Philippians. Watch the video, read the passage, and then use these LUP questions for additional reflection.

1. What was the biggest takeaway you learned this week from Philippians 1?
2. Can you now see how anyone can read God’s Word? Who helps you in your reading? Explain.
3. Are you ready to make the commitment to start on chapter two next week? (you can always use other LUP resources to help.)
