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.

After asking the Lord for help in getting to work on time, I arrived safely, and with a minute to spare :) Praise God!

Oneness - joined together in unity. Moving in the same direction. Same goals.  You don't want everyone to be the same as you. We were made different for the following reason: 1 Cor 12:25 Gen 2:24, Mat 19:3-8, Mark 10:2, Eph 5:25-27, 1 Cor 6:15-17 : The use of one flesh has been used five times. When man and female come together the union is part of the image of God... As the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are one. How do you become one... Let's consider how we became one spirit with the Lord...we had to die. Die to self. It is similar with our spouse...we have to die to self. Often times we focus on being right...but we should focus on being right with our spouse.  The key to a successful Christian life? You must die to yourself. The key to a successful marriage? Yo...
