Rejoice in the Lord

Scripture from HSCB – Holman Christian Standard Bible

Philippians 4:4-9 4 Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!

5 Let your graciousness be known to everyone. The Lord is near. 6 Don’t worry about anything, but in everything, through prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. 7 And the peace of God, which surpasses every thought, will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.

8 Finally brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable—if there is any moral excellence and if there is any praise—dwell on these things. 9 Do what you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, and the God of peace will be with you.

Jesus is first in my life, and through Him, life in this world is bearable. I desire each day to bring Him glory as I watch and pray for His return. I share the Kingdom of God with those willing to hear, as commanded in Matthew 28:19–20, knowing time is short and that Jesus will call His people home before the coming Tribulation, as written in 1 Thessalonians 4:16–17, 1 Corinthians 15:51–52, and Revelation 3:10. I cherish God’s creation—people, animals, birds, trees, flowers, and every season of weather, as seen in Genesis 1:31 and Psalm 19:1. Scripture reminds us the earth will one day be renewed, according to 2 Peter 3:10–13 and Revelation 21:1, so I seek to care for it faithfully until He calls us to meet Him in the air, as promised in 1 Thessalonians 4:17. I am grateful to live in a country with freedom of speech and faith, and I seek God’s wisdom in all I share.
