Identifying the 4 Attitudes of Joy
in Philippians

Last month, we looked at some thieves of our joy in 4 Ways to Take Back Your Joy. Do you remember them? Have you encountered them this month? They could manifest in circumstances, people, things, or worry. Or maybe you found another one that isn’t stated in this list. The important takeaway from the first part of our study is to identify the things that steal our joy and seek God’s help to combat those thieves with His Word and renewing our minds. I believe that Paul lays out for us four attitudes, one from each chapter of Philippians, that can help you maintain your joy.[1] Let’s take a quick survey of these chapters as they relate to our attitudes and thinking!
