part of a message called How to Be Happy happy no matter what happens.

Now trust in God when you don't see the whole picture and you can't see the end of the story. Trust in God

gives you hope, it gives you courage and it gives you happiness. Look at the next

verse there in Philippians chapter 1, verse 20.

It is my eager expectation, that's faith, and hope, that's hope, it's my eager expectation and hope that I will not be ashamed. Remember he's

in prison as he's writing this, but that with full courage now as always Christ will be honored in my body, whether by life or by death.

He goes, I don't know the end of my story. I don't know if I'm going to get out of this prison and be a free man again or if they're going to feed me to the lions or I'm going to be

set in with gladiators or just be hung or crucified.

He said, I don't know whether by life or death I am trusting God.
