Philippians 4:4-7

Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, Rejoice. Let your reasonableness be known to everyone. The Lord is at hand; do not be anxious 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.

Choosing gratitude and rejoicing in all things transforms our hearts and helps us remember God’s faithfulness. Paul urges us to rejoice always, to be grateful, and to intentionally remember what God has done. When we focus on gratitude instead of complaining, and when we fix our eyes on Jesus rather than our circumstances, we experience peace that surpasses understanding. Remembering God’s goodness and rehearsing His faithfulness roots us deeply in Him and empowers us to live out our calling with joy, even in seasons of pain or loss.

Application:
What is one way you can intentionally remember and give thanks for God’s faithfulness today, even if your circumstances are difficult?
