Today is Day 1 on my journey to joy.<\/a> Did you print the free worksheet<\/a> for this week as we read Chapter 1 of Philippians everyday this week? If not, go print it now.<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0Not only do I purpose to read Chapter 1 everyday this week, I also intend to study it. I really want<\/del> need, this Letter of Joy<\/strong> to sink deep and settle in.<\/p>\n

Yesterday, I printed off a copy of Philippians Chapter 1. I have seen on Pinterest<\/a> these beautiful Bibles specifically marked word by word. I LOVE looking at how people mark their Bibles and this way seems very intriguing and a little more in depth than just running the highlighter over entire sentences, verses or paragraphs.<\/p>\n

Here’s how I started. I chose a color to use to mark anytime Jesus or God were mentioned in Philippians 1. I chose yellow because it reminds me of the sun–Son..get it? Next I chose blue to mark any mention of prayer, green lines above to mark “joy” or “rejoice.” I made an orange little megaphone to highlight anywhere St Paul makes mention of the Gospel. Of course I used a red heart to mark “love” “affection” or “heart.” I used a green swirly to mark the words “life” or “living,” and a grey book emblem to mark where St Paul mentions the “Word.” Pink was my choice to mark words of gratitude. I also underlined the word “all” with two blue lines.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Bible<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Here’s the deal, it does not matter what color or symbols you use. Here’s the cool deal; every time I went through with a different color pencil to mark a new word or words, I re-read the whole chapter!<\/strong> So far that’s five times through the day. Right now I’m not necessarily reading for depth and that’s ok. What I have so far is a page that instantly draws my eyes and attention to a particular word set of words.<\/p>\n

Here’s a verse that has caused me some consideration as I kept passing it…<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

“I want you to know, beloved, that what has happened to me has actually helped to spread the gospel…” \u2020Philippians 1:12<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

 <\/p>\n

I would like to think I’d be calling my family and friends “beloved” were I in Paul’s situation, when it reality it would probably more along the lines of “Hey y’all!! Help! I’m in prison here!!” And then, although I’d like to think I would be spiritually minded and try to relate my sufferings and trials to some greater good…I would probably complain…a lot.<\/p>\n

But not Paul. He speaks with a fatherly affection…something I think he learned from intimate time spent with our Lord. I think that kind of selfless love can only come from lots of quality time spent in the presence of Love Himself.<\/em> And his recognition of his suffering serving for the good for the Church…again, another totally selfless act.<\/p>\n

So my first revelation in reading St Paul’s Letter of Joy…<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Joy exists where selfishness does not.<\/a><\/div>\n
