Joy in all Circumstances: Philippians 4:4
Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! (NIV)
Paul wrote these words while he was in prison in Rome awaiting his execution for his faith. What then do these words tell us about how we are to approach all circumstances of life? Very simply this: In all circumstances, including suffering, we as God’s people must learn to rejoice and gain strength by recalling the Lord’s goodness, faithfulness, nearness and promises (Philippians 1:4; James 1:2 and 1 Peter 4:13). We must remember that joy and gentleness in the middle of difficult times will definitely stand out and “be evident to all” because such an attitude is typically lacking in people who, without God, have no sure and steady means of coping with life’s stresses (Philippians 1:4).
