Recommended Reading: Philippians 1:12-19
Tennis pro Stan Wawrinka has won more than $34 million in prize money. Last year a foot injury caused him to miss the biggest tournaments, including the U.S. Open. On social media, he said, “Not where I wanted to be, but still a smile on my face.”
One of the secrets of joy is learning to smile and trust God, even when we’re not where we want to be. In Acts 21, Paul was finishing a visit to Jerusalem and packing for his planned missionary tour to Rome and Spain. Instead, he was arrested, bound with two chains, and tossed into a four-year legal battle in Caesarea and Rome. Yet he told the Philippians, “I want you to know, brethren, that the things which happened to me have actually turned out.… And in this I rejoice” (Philippians 1:12, 18).
When we can’t control our environment, we feel distressed. But God has His plans. His grace can bring smiles to our faces and joy to our hearts.
The future is as bright as the promises of God.

Salvation Prayer
Have you ever made Jesus the Lord and Savior of your life?
If not, pray this prayer and start a new life in Christ.
Dear God, I come to You in the Name of Jesus. I admit that I am not right with You, and I want to be right with You. I ask You to forgive me of all my sins. The Bible says if I confess with my mouth that “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in my heart that God raised Him from the dead, I will be saved (Rom. 10:9). I believe with my heart and I confess with my mouth that Jesus is the Lord and Savior of my life. Thank You for saving me! In Jesus’ Name I pray. Amen.
