Some days do you feel like you need a JOY TRANSFUSION? We can all take a lesson from Paul as he wrote his JOY-filled letter to the Christians at Philippi! Sixteen times in these 104 verses, the theme of JOY is woven into this uplifting little book! And where was Paul when he wrote this letter???? IN PRISON!!! Chained to a Roman guard!
How many of us feel "in bondage" today? Chained to hurtful memories of the past; nursing our anger and bitterness! Paul demonstrates that we DO have a choice! We can CHOOSE JOY! Now, I didn't say we could choose our circumstances....but we can choose how we react to those circumstances!
May I challenge you to read the whole book of Philippians in your quiet time for the next few days? You may just find that JOY TRANSFUSION that you are needing so desperately! "Rejoice in the Lord always: again, I say REJOICE!" Philippians 4:4
