“Now unto God and our Father be glory for ever and ever. Amen. (Philippians 4:20)
Many times the singing of the doxology in the Sunday morning worship service is a meaningless ritual performed with little or no thought or enthusiasm. Not so with Paul’s doxology recorded in our text.
It is part of the inspired text along with the entire epistle to the Philippians. The theme of the letter has been the joy of knowing the Lord and the joy of loving one another. God has called us to rejoice in the Lord always. Then we are reminded that no gift, however large or small, will go unnoticed by the Lord. Finally, we are told that God through His abundance will supply our need as we serve Him.
This doxology comes from the pen of one who cannot contain himself as he thinks of the overwhelming goodness of God. May that be our attitude and exuberant praise the next time we sing the doxology.
