Printable Karens Korner #1021

"The apostle Paul wrote more than half of the New Testament while incarcerated, often in tiny prison cells not much bigger than a small bathroom. Some historians and Bible commentators believe that the sewage system of that day ran right through one of the dungeons in which he was imprisoned. Some commentaries state that it's possible that he could have written some of the great passages of what we now know as the New Testament standing in raw sewage that at tmes came all the way up to his waist. Yet Paul wrote such amazing faith-filled words as, 'I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.' And, 'Thanks be to God, who always causes us to triumph,' and 'Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I say, rejoice!' Notice, we are to rejoice and be happy at all times. In your difficulties, when things aren't going your way, instead of having a pity party and thinking about how unfair life is treating you, instead of feeling sorry for yourself, make a decision to rejoice in the Lord. Choose to be happy! Choose to stay full of joy."
