Rejoice in the Lord Always

Nphilippians four can be a really irritating verse of scripture, really annoying finger nails on the chalk board. Why does that rub me the wrong way? Because in my there's something about me that likes to complain. If we actually believe the gospel, if we are so audacious as to believe isaiah nine and matthew 16 and matthew 28, then why don't we have the honesty to accept philippians four? Four and rejoice in the lord always. The man who wrote that was in prison. And i wonder if we will get through to those places without rejoicing our way there.
