This series is a verse-by-verse study of the book of Philippians. “There is an app for that” is a common saying in the world of technology. Of course “app” is the abbreviation for application. The Bible is full of apps as it relates to our daily lives including the app for joy.
The presence of joy in a person’s life is not determined by their circumstances but in the person of Jesus Christ. Joy has been defined as, the unshakable assurance that God is in control of all the details of my life, the confidence that ultimately I can trust God in everything that comes into my life, and the determined purpose to praise God in all things.
Paul not only writes about joy in Philippians but also demonstrates its outcome.
