Two words but so powerful....Rejoice Always. Its a wonder what implementing this into your everyday life can do for your soul and your attitude. Actually, Philippians 4 has been such an encouragement to me lately.... rejoicing, being gentle, not worrying, being prayerful, getting peace, fixing mind on Jesus, and being content with any situation (thats a quick summary of sorts). I am clinging to this chapter because it has really helped me to press on despite obstacles, discouragement, etc. All of the things mentioned in Phil. 4 cannot be done by Alysha (or you) alone...she needs Jesus to give her the strength and power because rejoicing, gentleness, not worrying, peace and contentment are not of this world...they are actually fruit of God's spirit.
We need to let the spirit invade our lives and other lives more. We need to let Him freely work as He'd like. And truth is that if we implement Phil. 4 into our lives...it will touch and change others lives as well. We will set an example of Jesus' character and it will be contagious. Wouldn't it be great if our Jesus-like character spread quicker than the swine flu?? Wish that could be the headline of the day... "Widespread Rejoicing and Prayer leading to Peace that passes Understanding happening all over the World."
