           Philippians 4:4}–> Roioice in the Lord always.   
   Again I say,   
   rejoice. -NKJV-   
           Many believers allow themselves to be victimized   
   by their circumstances and consequently vacillate between a spiritual   
   high and low. For them, a command to rejoice seens unreasonable. But the   
   command of today's verse is to rejoice "in the Lord."   
           We can't always rejoice in our circumstances or   
   other people because both can be bad. However, we can rejoice in the   
   Lord because He is always good and we know He never changes. Thus, our   
   spiritual stability directly relates to our knowledge of God. Knowing   
   Him helps us live above our circumstances and provides stability. That's   
   why the Psalms were written in poetic form and meter and set to   
   music–so the people of Israel could memorize Scripture and sing hymns   
   to deepen their knowledge of God. Knowing Him makes everything else seem   
   less significant.
