Paul deals with a subject about which every one must constantly be on guard. We must all watch what is being allowed to enter our minds. There is no easier way for us to lose our peace than to have unguarded ideas influence our thinking. Does the peace of God reside in your heart?

Paul is dealing with our joy and warning about those areas that can steal our joy. We must watch for circumstances, people, things and in the last chapter worry. Paul will describe how we must find our peace and trust in Christ. Satan wants to cause worry to rob of us of the tranquility we can have in Christ.

This is the weekend that we celebrate the independence of our nation. Today we want to also celebrate the freedom that we have in Christ. We will do this by remembering our country and remembering the sacrifice of Christ for us on Calvary with communion.

Paul would not allow anything to rob himself of his joy. In our passage today we find that he understood that he had to keep his focus. There is always room for growth when it comes to the life of the believer. Paul understood that fact and he wanted all to move forward in their understanding of salvation.

The Bible describes for us heroes. These heroes are greatly different from the type of hero we focus on today. As Paul was looking for someone who would exhibit the mind of Christ, he uses a priceless pair. We want to examine the qualities Paul points out of someone who has the mind of Christ.

Paul will explain his value to the church at Philippi. He finds himself in prison probably in Rome. He explains how circumstances do not determine our lives, but how we handle these circumstances. It is easy to allow events and places to cause us to lose our joy. Paul is praising God no matter where he finds himself. Are you a person of joy today?
