Strive to Find Joy!

This is the end of our series on Philippians 4:4-8!

In this week-long series, we have discussed the importance of this passage in the context of the Bible, and how its message of joy, peace, and contentment can help us to live our lives more fully and with greater purpose.

In Philippians 4:4-8, Paul encourages us to find joy in all circumstances, to be content with what we have, and to choose peace over worry and anxiety. He also reminds us that by doing these things, we are able to share our joy with others, and be a source of comfort to those in need.

As we conclude our series, it’s important to remember that the joy and peace that comes from following the teachings of Philippians 4:4-8 is not just for us as individuals, but for everyone around us. When we live in joy and peace, we bring those same qualities to our relationships, our work, and our communities. We become a beacon of light for those who need it most.

As we end this series, let us remember the words of Paul: “Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice. Let your reasonableness be known to everyone. The Lord is at hand; do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” [Philippians 4:4-8 (ESV)]

May we all strive to find joy, peace, and contentment in our lives, so that we can share it with those around us.
