Good day dear friends.
We continue to affirm Jesus' Easter message to the Disciples and to us: Peace is ours.
Here is our study guide for today:
Tuesday: Philippians 4:4-7 speaks a word of encouragement to us. List those mentioned there about how God could bless your life instead of living constantly in worry. What is your defintion of that word “rejoice?” Write out verse 6 somewhere you could see all the time, such as on your refrigerator door or the mirror you use first thing in the morning. Let those words speak fullness of life into your life!
Here is that Philippians passage: 4 Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, Rejoice. 5 Let your gentleness be known to everyone. The Lord is near. 6 Do not worry about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. 7 And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Here's my list:
1. Rejoice
2. Rejoice
3. Be gentle to all
4. The Lord is near
5. Do not worry about anything
6. Pray
7. Supplicate (see "Pray" above!)
8. Give thanks
9. Let God know what you want
10. God's peace is yours
11. God's peace guards your heart
12. God's peace guards your mind
13. Thanks to Jesus.
My definition of rejoice? Being joyful over and over again.

PRAYER: God of life, speak to me lovingly and with the fullness of Your love. Let me come to life as I am joyful over and over again today and all days. I pray in the name of He who guards my heart and mind, Jesus the Christ, Jesus my Lord. Amen.
Have a great and blessed day!
