Joy in the Lord is my strength….the first thought that came into my mind this morning. Without this we are lost and struggling with doubt about the future and even the happenings of a day. Be kind and gentle with others who share your same thoughts and concerns. Let each day be His and turn it over to Him in prayer for His guidance and direction knowing all things work for good to those who place their trust in Him and He will give you peace. Be content don’t worry about today or tomorrow and don’t forget to thank Him!!
In the midst of difficulties, in the midst of all situations, Christians are to rejoice. The joy of Christians is not based on agreeable circumstances, instead it is based on their relationship to God. Christians will face trouble in this world, but they should rejoice in the trials they face because they know God is using those situations to improve their character. A person who is gentle is willing to sacrifice his or her own personal rights to show consideration to others. He prohibits the Philippians from worrying about their own problems. Instead they are to commit their problems to God in prayer, trusting that He will provide deliverance.
Philippians 4:4-6
4 Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice!
5 Let your gentleness be known to all men. The Lord is at hand.
6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; 7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
