PHILIPPIANS CHAPTER 4

Philippians chapter 4: In this chapter, Apostle Paul asks us to rejoice and be happy in the Lord always. Is it really possible to be happy and to be without worries all the time? Yes we can, if we have Jesus in our mind all the time because he takes care of all our troubles. He is our advocate, guide, provider and protector. He fights the battle for us. The Bible says that by worrying we will not be able to add even one extra hour to our lives. So leave everything to Jesus. He is the Prince of Peace who gives us the ultimate peace in our hearts through the Holy Spirit that surpasses all understanding. Our only job is to forget our worries and to rejoice and praise Him all the time.
That is why Apostle Paul says not to worry about anything in this life, but to put all our needs in prayer and supplications and to thank God for all the blessings and protection He has given to us throughout our lives. He says he can do all the possible and impossible things through Jesus Christ who strengthens him. He also asserts that God will supply all our needs according to His riches in glory. He then advices to be steadfast in Jesus and yearn for a just, pure, truthful and an honest life. He particularly stresses to be content with whatever we have just as how he was content in all circumstances, even during times of need and also when he had plenty. He was even content when he suffered as well as when he was free, because whatever he did, he did it to glorify our Lord. When God’s peace is in us we are content at all times and with all things.
