My beloved Paul gave many reasons why he was rejoicing even while he was bound and in prison. I know that some of you feel like you are in prison since you have to stay in your homes during this pandemic. It might be uplifting to review reasons why Paul was able to rejoice even in hard circumstances.
Here are just a few: He rejoiced that the gospel was being preached and that I would be magnified in his body whether he lived or died. He rejoiced in the hope that he would see the church in Philippi. You also can rejoice knowing that you once again will be able to fellowship face to face with your church and that through technology you can even fellowship while you are in your home.
He rejoiced that one day he would be able to fellowship with Me face to face, but for now he rejoiced that he could worship Me in the Spirit and know My presence with him. He rejoiced in their care for him. Joy comes as we care for others. Reach out in some way to someone and share that you care.
