Philippians 4

Trying to go over a whole chapter every week, instead of a verse a day, a chapter a day, etc. So, after reading Philippians 4 several days in a row...

"Rejoice in the the Lord always" This is a good verse. The exhortation is to always be rejoicing! But what about all the tragic moments of life? Well, Paul is not exhorting to rejoice in Life always, but rather to rejoice in the Lord. When we keep a sense of who it is that we "in" we can always rejoice in Him, even when life is in chaos around us. If He is the rock on which our house is built, we need not fear the storms of life.
