A Life of Joy

In Philippians chapter 4, we find this incredible command: “Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!” If someone were to ask you: What is or has been the greatest day of your life? What would you say? There have been some amazing days in your life. There was the day that you were born—when you took you first breath and the whole miracle of your existence began. That was an amazing day. There was the day you took your first step. That day you became a walker, and suddenly your world was never the same, and neither was your mothers! Maybe it was the day you fell in love, or got married, or had your first child. Surely those were good days! But what if this day—the day that you are in right now—what if this day is God’s greatest gift to you? What if this day, with all of its distractions and problems and worries, was your best day, because today is the day that God is in. That’s why the Psalmist says these words: “This is the day the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.” (Psalm 118:24, NIV84) Join us this weekend as was talk about some practical ways to find joy in each and every day.
