Today begins a three-day seminar on the book of Philippians in Chichicastenango, Guatemala.

I invite you to read the book with us multiple times over the next three days as we will be doing. Sixteen times in four chapters, Paul mentions something about Joy.

Joy is one of my favorite words and favorite concepts - and not just because it is my middle name.

Joy in suffering. Joy in doing things the opposite of the way the world would. Joy when we humble ourselves like Christ. Joy when we serve. Joy in salvation and in shining like stars. Joy and contentment in any and all circumstances.

How can you find joy today?

May the book of Philippians be a reminder to find the joy in life and an opportunity to reconnect with the ultimate source of Joy by hearing His voice through Scripture.
