Finding Joy in All Circumstances
Reading: Philippians 4:4-7
Devotional: "Rejoice in the Lord always" may seem like an impossible command when life gets tough. But Paul, writing from prison, shows us that joy isn't dependent on our circumstances—it's rooted in our relationship with God. Today's passage encourages us to replace anxiety with prayer and thanksgiving. When we focus on God's goodness rather than our problems, we open ourselves to receive His peace that "surpasses all understanding." Reflect on a current challenge in your life. How might your perspective shift if you approached it with joy and thanksgiving? Practice offering a prayer of gratitude for each concern you bring to God today, trusting that He is working all things for your good.
