Always
Be Full Of Joy In The Lord.
I Say It Again – Rejoice!
Scripture
Philippians 4
4 Always be full of joy in the Lord. I say it again—rejoice!
Observation
Paul is writing this letter from prison to one of his favorite churches. Paul … chained, scarred, broken, whipped, beaten, stoned and left for dead, hated, and misunderstood, pens a letter to us about JOY!
I just counted that Paul used the word “Rejoice” eight times and the word “Joy” seven or eight times in this short 4-chapter love letter to the church of Philippi!
No matter what you and I are going through this morning, no matter how beat up or sick we are, no matter how much pain we are in lets put this verse into practice right now – lets “Always be full of joy in the Lord. I say it again – rejoice!”
I don’t know about you but I think that I need to camp out in the book of Philippians awhile longer and memorize more of these powerful verses and these wonderful promises!
Philippians 2:17-18
But I will rejoice even if I lose my life, pouring it out like a liquid offering to God, just like your faithful service is an offering to God. And I want all of you to share that joy. Yes, you should rejoice, and I will share your joy.
Philippians 3:1
Whatever happens, my dear brothers and sisters, rejoice in the Lord. I never get tired of telling you these things, and I do it to safeguard your faith.
Psalm 31:7
I will be glad and rejoice in your unfailing love, for you have seen my troubles, and you care about the anguish of my soul.
Application
Proverbs 5:18
Let your wife be a fountain of blessing for you. Rejoice in the wife of your youth
Prayer
