Rejoice

I've started a new Precept upon Precept Bible study on Philippians recently. If you have never done a precepts Bible study I can't recommended it enough. I love digging in and studying using only scripture as the source. Studying Philippians means studying Paul first to understand the author. Its been awesome getting the big picture and getting a small glimpse into Paul's mind. I love how he had true joy in every circumstance,and he had many an opportunity to be miserable. "Rejoice in the Lord".

Another thing I found interesting was how in Acts you learn how Paul wanted to go into Asia to spread the gospel but the Spirit said no several times. It took Paul a while to figure out what Gods will was for him. Jerry and I have really struggled lately with what Gods will is for us. It seems we pray but God is not giving obvious answers. We are having to learn to rejoice in our circumstance...lot easier said than done. :)
