Do you read this verse rejoice sometimes vs always. It’s easy to apply this verse when things are good, but the Apostle Paul clearly makes clear, earlier in the book of Philippians, that our circumstances should not dictate our joy. How are you doing with this today? Can I pray for you, for something? Better yet, let your request be made known to God, but please reach for joy, no matter what!
