Does It Spark Joy?

Philippians 4:4-9

Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice!
   Let your gentleness be known to all men. The Lord is at hand.
   Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

      Meditate on These Things

     Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things. The things which you learned and received and heard and saw in me, these do, and the God of peace will be with you.

Scriptures for Correction

Job 5:17-18
“Behold, happy is the man whom God corrects;
 Therefore do not despise the chastening of the Almighty.
  For He bruises, but He binds up;
 He wounds, but His hands make whole.

Proverbs 3:12
For whom the Lord loves He corrects,
 Just as a father the son in whom he delights.

Psalm 94:12-13
Blessed is the man whom You instruct, O Lord,
 And teach out of Your law,
  That You may give him rest from the days of adversity,
 Until the pit is dug for the wicked.
