Joy rushes out of me in times of disturbance. That’s why I keep a full tank of Joy at all times. Some of our journeys can be long, some bumper to bumper. Some journeys appear smooth at first, but the pavement along the way may have potholes. I lost a hubcap traveling on that way one day. I notice that there were many hubcaps along the sides of the road on that trip. So my spirit must remain sooo full of joy, that at the slightest pickle, I begin to giggle then I keep control of my vehicle; keeping a steady course, then a smile and a kind word I won’t have to force.
Philippians 4:4-8 King James Version (KJV)
4 Rejoice in the Lord always: and again I say, Rejoice. 5 Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand. 6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. 7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. 8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
