4 Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! 5 Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. 6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4)
There it is: the verse of the day... when you really don't want to. Rejoice. And what song comes to mind? One we mostly consider to be a Christmas song. But it is far more. It is a song of longing, waiting, struggling, looking for peace. That's what this famous passage promises at the end of rejoicing in anxious struggle: peace. Let's let beyond Christmas for hope, promise, joy and peace.
