Rejoice in the Lord

Phillippians 4:4-7 - "Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice."

Paul had wrote this when he was in prison and not a conducive environment to write such encouraging and powerful letters, but His trust was in God and he had godly peace guarding his heart and mind which enabled him to be joyful irrespective of the circumstances.

Joy is a mindset rather than a particular set of circumstances. There are many things in life which are beyond our control. But the attitude of rejoicing is something that we can control. We can choose to live life joyfully! Happiness is tied to circumstances. We are happy when things go well, when we get a promotion, when we hear the applause of the crowd, when we see success. But happiness disappears when life is difficult: when illness strikes, when someone we love dies, when we face an unpleasant task, when we have to confront criticism. We do not enjoy those times.

Joy is different from happiness. Joy is an attitude. It is an approach to life rather than a reaction to life. Joy is a way of looking at life that is not affected by circumstances.

Let's learn to be joyful at all times by staying close to the source of joy and the more closer we are to Him, the greater the experience of joy in our living.

Have A Blessed Day!

God Bless
