Philippians - Choosing JoySample

Read: Philippians 1:1-6
SOAP: Philippians 1:6
Friend, rest in God’s sovereignty. The amazing work He started in you, He will finish. Life might not be happening the way you expected. Circumstances might not be what you envisioned when you pictured your life years ago, but trust Him in the process. He is working, even when you don’t see Him or feel Him. He will complete what He began in you. He will equip you for the task and see you through. Your job is to abide in Him and leave the results in His hands. The same hands that crafted the evening sunsets and budding flowers are also at work in your life. Don’t disappear when the “work” of your life isn’t turning out as you had expected. God’s not done with you yet!

About this Plan

Joy is the theme in the book of Philippians, which is pretty amazing considering this letter was written by Paul while he was in prison. How is it possible to have joy in the midst of overwhelming sorrow and suffering? In the end, Paul teaches us that Jesus is the Author and only source of true joy.
