There was a crisis going on during the writing of Philippians. People took it upon themselves to preach in order to gain their own following. As people preached Christ to gain the things that they desired, whether that be money, power or fame, Paul saw one key thing: the Gospel of Jesus was still being preached. While this is not an excuse for selfishness in the service of Christ, this is a tremendous reassurance to each of us that regardless of what happens around us, things that were meant for bad can be used to bring glory to Jesus. This includes your current isolation. This includes all our current financial hardships. This includes your struggle. God can use these things to bring people to know Jesus and that is a little good news.
