0:00.0	Hello, friends, this is Evangelist Scott Pauli. I'm so happy that you are joining our broadcast today.
0:11.9	Several years ago, when we first began the Enjoying the Journey broadcast, we started with my favorite book of the Bible.
0:19.0	I've adopted it really is my life's study on the book of
0:22.3	Philippians. And the theme, of course, of that great book is the joy of the Lord Jesus Christ.
0:28.0	Truly, it is the Bible treaties on what it means to enjoy the journey. Now we're thrilled to share
0:35.5	this anniversary series with you again in the hopes that God will use it in your life to help you learn to enjoy the Lord Jesus Christ at whatever stage you happen to be on on life's journey.
0:46.8	I trust that these studies from the Word of God today will refresh your spirit and renew your strength for the days ahead.
0:53.6	God bless you as you listen.

1:35.1	I shudder to think how many things would be on that list if the same survey were conducted today.
1:40.7	You see, the truth matter is there are so many restless people today, and it's not just lost people.
1:46.1	So many times, it's Christian people, people that are confessed Christ as their Savior and following the Lord Jesus, and yet they seem to be so restless, so discontent.
1:58.5	We've come in our study in Philippians chapter four to these truths on how to stay
2:02.9	happy in Jesus. We've learned first that if we're going to stay happy in Jesus, we have to stay
2:07.7	right with one another. We have to stay prayerful. We have to stay in the Word. And then we come to
2:13.0	this beautiful passage quoted by many but lived by few in Philippians chapter four verses 10 through 13
2:20.0	where the Bible says but I rejoiced in the Lord greatly that now at the last your care of me
2:26.7	have flourished again wherein you are also careful but you lacked opportunity and not that I
