Philippians - Choosing JoySample
Read: Philippians 1:12-14
SOAP: Philippians 1:14
Never forget that no matter where you go or where you’ve been, you are never alone. As you continue down your path of faith, Christ is walking step-by-step with you. There is a higher purpose for your life, and Christ is working through your day-to-day circumstances toward His higher calling. Remember these things when you are tempted to complain either vocally or internally: despite what is happening Christ is working, people are watching, and we always have a reason for praise instead of grumbling. In the midst of a dark and angry world, let’s embrace opportunities daily to show unity, love, and to boldly speak truth.

How is it possible to have joy in the midst of overwhelming sorrow and suffering? In the end, Paul teaches us that Jesus is the Author and only source of true joy.
