15 My prayer is not that you take them out of the world but that you protect them from the evil one.

52 And the disciples were filled with joy and with the Holy Spirit.

-There is a remarkable connection to victory over problems and JOY.

-We have all had times when at the oddest time the Presence of God…the Spirit of Joy just welled up in our hearts.

(Life is too short to drink weak coffee!)
-I am victorious because when things look the most difficult the force of God’s joy shows up in my life.

It is a feeling that comes and goes.

*/10 /**/I rejoice greatly in the Lord that at last you have renewed your concern for me.
Indeed, you have been concerned, but you had no opportunity to show it.
11 I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances.
12 I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty.
I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want.
13 I can do everything through him who gives me strength.

There is a phrase by Horace that you may have heard….carpe

If fruit is ripe it had to be plucked or picked.
The key is to pluck what is ripe.
In order to pluck the day….we
have to live in the moment.
