Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:4-7 NIV
👉Rejoice in the Lord always Paul is repeating it again say Rejoice. When something is said twice that means there is greater emphasis on the word or sentence. Here it is Rejoice always.
👉We have many concerns and situations wherein we need to face and take appropriate decisions.
👉Some times situations and circumstances are not very conducive for us. At that moment or in those times one has to be patient and not be anxious about the results thinking what would happen?, where I am going to be? etc.
👉Mostly such thought that passes our mind is of negative in nature. Hence, our decisions in such a state of mind there is all possibility that we will end up in wrong decision.
👉Instead, let us all learn from word here to present our concerns always to God in Prayers by requesting our need and giving thanks to Him for who He is and what He has made us (Sons and Daughters).
👉While we obey the God of Peace who gives His peace which is beyond our comprehension, it will be at rest in our heart and soul in Christ Jesus. And then there will be peace in our hearts and minds.
👉Thereafter, our behaviour with others will be very much gentle. And above all we will be put in such a state of mind that our decisions will be accurate and we will see greater success.
👉Therefore, Rejoice Always and I say again Rejoice.
Have cheerful day and Prayerful day.
