The implication of this blog title is that if we have to repeat staying strong, that means we grow weak. When our fuel gauge gets close to empty, we need to refill because we’re low and going to run out of gas. The enemy is always going after our joy, that’s why we get aggravated on the way to work in traffic. People make us mad and we start thinking negative. The joy of the Lord is our strength, no joy, no strength.
RE-JOICE. We Have To Redo It – Over And Over
Troubles come. Bills come. Negative thoughts come. Bad reports from doctors come. So we have to rejoice. Rejoice in the Lord and again I say rejoice! Philippians 4:4 Do not fret or have any anxiety about anything but in every circumstance by prayer and petition make your requests with thanksgiving be known to God Philippians 4:11. Fretting is having anxious thoughts about something that may or may not happen. Let it go and then…
Ask For It!
The enemy will try to get people honking horns at us and getting us upset today. God doesn’t want that. While you’re driving down the road or while you’re at the doctor’s office say, “God, I’m upset about this, I’m worried about this. Please give me some peace.” And he will give you peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7)!
A Rejoicing Life Begins By Thinking On These Things..
We become more positive by choosing to think positive. How do we do that? Think on these things.
Finally, brothers and sisters,
whatever is true,
whatever is noble,
whatever is right,
whatever is pure,
whatever is lovely,
whatever is admirable–if anything is excellent or praiseworthy–think about such things. (Philippians 4:8)
I am stoked about your day today because your best days are ahead of you! So rejoice!
