Robin Lynnette Flom replied to Bernita Mannes's discussion Philippians 3 - JOY IN BELIEVING in the group South Dakota Synod"I was re-reading verses 10 and 11 just now, and in my study Bible it says that the somehow is not an expression of doubt but if intense concern and involvement. I am not exactly sure what this means, but perhaps it is like when I say, "Somehow…"

- welcome
just wanted to comment on your verse it is one the ones God gave to me a number of years ago but God reminded me of it reciently when I lost my job due to a reduction in force at the bank where I worked.
When that happened the word 'purpose' which was my key word for that verse was my very first thought and instead of the normal feelings that were expected in that situation I became very excited, filled with anticipation of what God had in store for me.
I am now so busy with His work that I don't have time for a 'job'
It is always exciting to discover His 'purpose' in our lives
