Day 11: Joy

May 22 • Bible reading from Philippians 4:10-13 Joy

Character: "I have inner contentment and purpose in spite of my circumstances."

________

Text:

I rejoice greatly in the Lord that at last you have renewed your concern for me. Indeed, you have been concerned, but you had no opportunity to show it.
I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty.

I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do everything through him who gives me strength.

_______

Take a minute:

When you face difficult circumstances, what level of joy have you maintained?
