Joy is a choice part 2

Phil 4:1-11
Christians should be marked with joy more so than anyone else in the world.

Joy is a choice
Deutronomy 28:47
We think joy is a result and not a choice. Joy is something that you learn as Paul has learned.

Think about your prayer life. How much do spend to change the outside, than changing inside of us.
You can't control the outside but you can control the inside. You can't stop situations, people, life stuff bumping, hitting, attacking you. Changing jobs, wives, house, car will not stop the bumps from coming. But, you can control what comes out of you!

Phil 4:6-7
2 Cor 4:17-18 Paul's affliction was light and momentary. This is nothing compared to the Glory of God that awaits us in heaven.
Have an eternal perspective!
Phil 4:8

To work on time

I had the intention of leaving to work on time this morning, but I left late because the freezing rain last night froze my door shut, and windows required heavy scraping. I was able to get in the car after some prying, and scraped a "hole" big enough to see ahead of me through the windshield (not best practice). After asking the Lord for help in getting to work on time, I arrived safely, and with a minute to spare :) Praise God!

How do you know you have a servant heart?

 Gen 39:9 One way you know walking through a field if it's ready for harvest is when it is bending towards the earth. If you want to be happy in serving Jesus there's only one fulfillment in getting true joy: how much can you give... Jesus says let me show you how my kingdom works... When he washed his friends feet Do you want to be great in His kingdom? That is how you get that position... To be a servant of all, esteem everyone better than yourself

New Wineskins

Read Luke 5:33-39 When God is doing something inside of you there will be pressure and there will be adjustment that will be required. Old wineskins can't handle the pressure. Are you looking for God to give you something new? Perhaps you're not getting it because you're not ready for the pressure. Old. Old wineskins. Dry resistant brittle not flexible...dry spiritualy, cracks easily...when the littlest things begin to crack and offend you easily... Resistant to change. Young vision. Old wineskins is not about age but about vision. One can be old in age but have a young vision... New. New wineskins. Jesus came to the Jews first. But He couldn't find many old wine skins that were willing to be renewed.
