This is His path to peace for me. I don’t understand it for sure but it is true. He is guarding me. Letting Him be in charge guards my mind from my own plans which clearly leads to worry and fear.

I should be thankful and talk with God about everything. He is in charge.

Jesus loves me and has wonderful plans for me. Wow, that takes the pressure off and allows me to not be anxious.

He ROCKS!!!

Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! …. Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in the Messiah Jesus. Philippians 4:4-9

Apostle Paul Sayings, Happy, Joy, Philippians 4, Rejoice

This is worth repeating. It needs to be said frequently. It is absolute. May I rejoice in the Master always. Jesus, our Messiah, is in control. 

God’s goal for us is that we are more than happy all the time. The joy He brings is amazing.

So  … I say it again. The joy He brings is amazing. It is stunning. May we start, live and end our day in joy.

Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Philippians 4:4

Abundance, Amazing, Apostle Paul Sayings, Glad, Jesus, Messiah, Philippians 4, Rejoice

We serve an amazing God. We need to celebrate everything He does for us. Celebrate Him doesn’t quite seem to capture it though. Paul suggests we revel in God. In Greek, the word is χαίρω. It means to rejoice or be glad. It is also used as a salutation or greeting.

Paul is emphatic. In the New American Standard Translation we read it like this. “Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice!”

God is in a good mood. Whoo hoo!! I am glad. That is some good news. It is an amazing day in paradise.

I mean, revel in Jesus! ~~Apostle Paul (Philippians 4:4 The Message)

"If we rejoice in the acts of God without discovering His ways, we’ll question who He is when He doesn’t do what we’ve asked." ~~Bill Johnson

Rejoice in the Lord

Jesus challenges us to understand why God does what He does. It is one thing to understand what God does. Rejoicing in that is great. It is more important to understand the heart of God and why God does certain things.

God is in a good mood, all the time. God intends great things for us, all the time. Jesus wants us to know God.

If we rejoice in the acts of God without discovering His ways, we’ll question who He is when He doesn’t do what we’ve asked. ~~Bill Johnson

Be Thankful

My part is to rejoice. God is so very good and He is always in this amazing mood. Jesus has a mission to bring Good News to me. Am I hearing bad news? It is a lie then. That is from my enemy Satan. So, I will rejoice at the good God is doing now.

I need to talk with my Father, ask Him for what I need, and be thankful in my conversations with Him. He knows what I need and will do more than I can imagine.

I don’t understand it, but as a result, His peace is mine. I can rest and relax. His peace is at attention in my heart. He is protecting me and the enemy can’t reach my heart.

God’s goal for me is to rejoice always. This is so important, Paul says it to us twice. Be thankful. Be grateful. Our prayers are to be with thanksgiving.

Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:4-9
