In Philippians 3:1, Paul tells the saints to "rejoice in the Lord." Neither he nor the Philippian saints were in situations the world would consider "joyous." He was in prison and they were experiencing intense persecution as well as disruptions within the congregation.

This is a joy that tenaciously holds fast to God's gracious promises.
