Philippians - Choosing JoySample

SOAP: Philippians 3:12-14
We press on! That is the battle cry of our hearts as we day by day live our lives, not for our glory but His. We let go of the past, the pain, the heartbreak, and the disappointments. We let go of the weight that pulls us down - down into depression and down into despair - and instead we choose to live our lives in faith. We take God at His Word. In Christ we are a new creation. We have a new start and we choose to run. We run our race for God’s glory! We press into Him on the hard days because now we do not run our races alone; Jesus has made us His own. May we rejoice in this truth and run our races for God’s glory!

About this Plan
Joy is the theme in the book of Philippians, which is pretty amazing considering this letter was written by Paul while he was in prison. 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.
