I urge Euodia and I urge Syntyche to be of the same mind in the Lord. Yes, and I ask you also, my loyal companion, help these women, for they have struggled beside me in the work of the gospel, together with Clement and the rest of my co-workers, whose names are in the book of life. Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, Rejoice. Let your gentleness be known to everyone. The Lord is near. Do not worry about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Finally, beloved, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is pleasing, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence and if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. Keep on doing the things that you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, and the God of peace will be with you. (Philippians 4:2-9, NRSV)
Rejoice always in the Lord and do not worry about what will happen.
Know that in any and all circumstances that God will be with you and see you through.
That doesn’t mean there will not be strife or conflict or bad things that happen. But God will be with you and see you through.
So always rejoice in the fact that God is with you and you are named and claimed by Him because He loves you. Not of your own merit or anything you have done, only because He loves you.
Rejoice Always!
