Whether you’re an introvert who prefers peace and quiet or an extrovert who loves being social, one thing is true: You were made for connection.
God designed us to experience joy—but not just as isolated individuals. His plan has always been for us to connect to one another in community. The stronger and healthier our connection to God and his community, the more joy we can experience and share.
Pause with each of Paul’s thoughts:
- How have you been encouraged by being loved by Jesus and the church community?
- How can you embrace this call to agreement, love, and unity with other believers?
- What is one way you can practice humility this week?
After you reflect, take a moment to be still. Ask God to help you connect with people today with love and humility.
Practice: Write down 2 people you will see today. What is something they enjoy or value? How can you bless them?

About this Plan
Though he was captive in prison, Paul was captivated by Jesus. That makes him the perfect mentor for any of us who yearn to live with joy and contentment in spite of our troubles. During the Joy Rules reading plan, we'll trek through Paul's writings in the book of Philippians in search of the always-present, ever-accessible joy Jesus offers.
