Rejoice! That was the command given by the apostle Paul to the Philippians believers. We have been rejoicing at my house this last weekend. On Sunday, our oldest child and so far our only daughter, Abigail, turned eight years old and was baptized by her father in the 11 o'clock service. What a time to rejoice! All of her grandparents, one great grandmother, an aunt and uncle, and a few cousins have been here to join in on the celebration. While it may have been crowded at times and sometimes hectic, I would not trade any part of the weekend for having them all here to celebrate with her in the greatest decision she will ever make. She is beginning her new life in Christ, and while my prayers will not stop, the greatest one has surely been answered. So, I rejoice and give praise to God for calling her and saving her and for the future work I know that He will perform in her.
One down, three to go!
Philippians 4:6-7
Don't worry about anything, but in everything, through prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses every thought, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
