PHILIPPIANS 4:4-5 (CEV)
Always be glad because of the Lord! I will say it again: Be glad. Always be gentle with others. The Lord will soon be here.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
Let God-formed optimism and gladness characterize your life.
DAILY FODDER
Is gladness more the result of seeing God at work or a matter of trusting that God is at work?
PRAYER
God, I have much to be thankful for. Yet, I tend to dwell on the negative things and I end up mean and angry. Save me from negativity and fill me with your gladness. I'm going to let that gladness shape the way I interact with the world around me. Amen.
THE LORD’S PRAYER
Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your Name, your Kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us. Save us from the time of trial and deliver us from evil. For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours now and forever. Amen.
