Rejoice in the Lord always, Again I say rejoice!

Therefore my beloved and longed- for brethren,
My joy and crown so stand fast in the Lord, beloved
I implore Euodia and I implore Syntyche to be of the same mind in the Lord.
And I urge you also, true companion, help these women who laboured with me in the gospel, with Clement also and the rest of my fellow workers whose names are in the book of life.
Rejoice in the Lord always, Again I say rejoice!
Let your gentleness be known to all men. The Lord is at hand.
Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God.
Phil. 4:1-6


Whatever things are true, what ever things are noble,

Finally brethren, whatever things are true, what ever things are noble, whatever things are just, and what ever things are pure
Whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report,
If there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy-meditate on these.
Phil. 4:8



I have leant in whatever state I am to be content

But I rejoiced in the Lord greatly that now your care for me has flourished again; though you surely did care you lacked opportunity.
Not that I speak in regard to need, but I have leant in whatever state I am to be content
Phil. 4:10-11

Both to abound and to suffer need

I know how to be abased and I know how to abound. Everywhere and in all things, I have learn both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need.
Phil. 4:12

The peace of God

And the peace of God which surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and minds though Christ Jesus.
Phil. 4: 7

Things which you learned and received

The things which you learned and received and heard and saw in me, these do and the God of Peace will be with you
Phil. 4:9

But let the righteous be joyful

Let God rise up, let his enemies be scattered; let those who hate him flee before him. As smoke is driven away, so drive them away; as wax melts before the fire, let the wicked perish before God. But let the righteous be joyful; let them exult before God; let them be jubilant with joy. Sing to God, sing praises to his name; lift up a song to him who rides upon the clouds— his name is the LORD— be exultant before him. Psalm 68 ; 1-4 God gives the desolate a home to live in Father of orphans and protector of widows is God in his holy habitation. God gives the desolate a home to live in; he leads out the prisoners to prosperity, but the rebellious live in a parched land. Psalm 68: 5-6 The earth quaked, the heavens poured down rain O God, when you went out before your people, when you marched through the wilderness, Selah the earth quaked, the heavens poured down rain at the presence of God, the God of Sinai, at the presence of God, the God of Israel. Psalm 68: 7-8 O God, you showered abro

Depend On God’s Unmerited Favor, Not Favoritism

Meditate On And the patriarchs, becoming envious, sold Joseph into Egypt. But God was with him and delivered him out of all his troubles, and gave him favor and wisdom in the presence of Pharaoh, king of Egypt; and he made him governor over Egypt and all his house. Acts 7:9–10 There is a significant difference between God’s unmerited favor and favoritism . God’s unmerited favor is based entirely on Jesus’ merit, and we received it through His finished work at the cross. We did nothing to deserve His favor. It is completely unmerited. Favoritism, however, stinks of self-effort. Individuals who rely on favoritism for promotion resort to apple-polishing, office politics, manipulative tactics, backstabbing and all kinds of compromises just to get what they want. God has a higher and better way for you. It hurts Him to see His precious children groveling like sycophants just to get ahead in life. If a door closes, so be it! Believe with full confidence
