Daily Devotion:
“Full of Joy in The Lord”
Philippians 4:1-5
New Living Translation 4 Therefore, my dear brothers
and sisters,[a] stay true to the Lord. I love you and long to see you, dear friends, for you are my joy and the crown I receive for my work. 2 Now I appeal to Euodia and Syntyche. Please, because you belong to the Lord, settle your disagreement. 3 And I ask you, my true partner,[b] to help these two women, for they worked hard with me in telling others the Good News. They worked along with Clement and the rest of my co-workers, whose names are written in the Book of Life. 4 Always be full of joy in the Lord. I say it again—rejoice! 5 Let everyone see that you are considerate in all you do. Remember, the Lord is
coming soon.
What a reminder of the importance of choosing to rejoice! No matter what is going on in our lives, we always have a reason to rejoice because of our relationship with Christ. He is near: near to the brokenhearted; near to the lonely woman; near to those who feel rejected. Because of this truth we rejoice, knowing that God is in control and we can find rest in Him.
