WE MUST TRUST GOD AND OBEY HIM NOT MATTER WHAT THE COST
Like Paul, these other brothers or sisters may make tents or do other kinds of work. Because Paul affected people’s lives for Jesus in Philippi and Thessalonica, perhaps they would send him a gift for the work there. He would also give to the poor around him with that gift. He would also help other brothers and sisters like Timothy and Titus so they wouldn’t have to make tents all the time. In the letter to the Philippians, Paul said sometimes he received things from others, sometimes he didn’t. Sometimes he made tents, sometimes he didn’t. If God provided for his needs another way, then that was wonderful. If not, he would make tents and provide for other people’s needs.
