Scripture: Philippians 4: 4 always be full of joy in the Lord. I say it again—rejoice! 5 Let everyone see that you are considerate in all you do. Remember, the Lord is coming soon.
Observation: Paul's exhortation is to celebrate God everyday. And let everyone that you meet know that you are on their side, working with them and not against them.
Application: This seems like the easiest thing to do, but yet our human nature fights against it. We have a hard time celebrating what the Lord has done and continue to do in our lives. We also fight against others thinking there are going to get one up on us. However, we must not do this. We must continue to show them that Jesus is about to arrive and the he could show up at any moment.
Prayer: Lord, I ask for forgiveness. I have not heeded Paul's exhortation to always celebrate Jesus everyday and encourage others as He would everyday. I am rich and full of life, yet can be the most prideful person. Forgive me…it is all about you and telling people that the Lords return is near. I desire to proclaim joy, truth, encouragement, and evangelize to the world.
