Philippians 4:8-19
Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. 9 What you have learned and received and heard and seen in me—practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you.
10 I rejoiced in the Lord greatly that now at length you have revived your concern for me. You were indeed concerned for me, but you had no opportunity. 11 Not that I am speaking of being in need, for I have learned in whatever situation I am to be content. 12 I know how to be brought low, and I know how to abound. In any and every circumstance, I have learned the secret of facing plenty and hunger, abundance and need.
13 I can do all things through him who strengthens me.
14 Yet it was kind of you to share my trouble. 15 And you Philippians yourselves know that in the beginning of the gospel, when I left Macedonia, no church entered into partnership with me in giving and receiving, except you only. 16 Even in Thessalonica you sent me help for my needs once and again. 17 Not that I seek the gift, but I seek the fruit that increases to your credit. 18 I have received full payment, and more. I am well supplied, having received from Epaphroditus the gifts you sent, a fragrant offering, a sacrifice acceptable and pleasing to God. 19 And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.
20 To our God and Father be glory forever and ever. Amen.

The Lord's Brother, Jude, tells us about Archangel Michael and Moses.
Jude 1:9
But even the archangel Michael, when he was disputing with the devil about the body of Moses, did not himself dare to condemn him for slander but said, "The Lord rebuke you!"
So where did this come from? This isn't recorded in the Old Testament. So we are talking about, probably, either Jesus has told Jude or The Transfiguration.
We all get angry and ANGER is in the Bible over 500 times. Surely anger interferes with happiness.
Paul sees and gives Joy.
Romans 15:13
May the God of hope
fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.
Romans 15:32
So that by God's will
I may come to you with joy and be refreshed in your company.
2 Corinthians 1:24
Not that we lord it over your faith,
but we work with you for your joy, for you stand firm in your faith.
2 Corinthians 7:2
Make room in your hearts for us.
We have wronged no one, we have corrupted no one, we have taken advantage of no one.
Philippians 1:4
always in every prayer of mine for you
all making my prayer with joy
Moses saw the bush that was not consumed. Perhaps this looked like a Christmas Tree?
We chose Joy when we are Angry. Looking internally, believing in the future.
In the Sermon, when you reach minute 19, you either believe you are done in or God is going to Help you.
Help us in all minutes of the day, to believe You have given us a Hope and Future. To be part of Your Vine and fruitfulness. Help us to build in all times, each day.
With Jesus and Your Gift of Faith, we will live in Love, Peace and Joy. Having the Blessing from Your Son to ask for more Heaven upon earth for all of Creation. God of Love. God of Encouragement.
Living in the Freedom and Expectation to Seek You first and find Your Kingdom glimpsed around us.
Keep us safe from disasters, quieten storms and keep the Oceans safe.
Uphold those we Love. We Trust You.
We ask for the virus to end and Joy in Recovery. And Peace for anxiety, jobs and finances.
We pray for Your Word to be Spoken.
Your Help for a vaccine.
God Himself Bless, Sustain, Comfort, Guide
