“REJOICE IN THE LORD ALWAYS; again, I will say, REJOICE! Let your gentle spirit be known TO ALL MEN.
In this world where there is so much selfishness and cruelty, being of a gentile spirit with rejoicing is a rarity to experience…
THE LORD IS NEAR. Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by PRAYER AND SUPPLICATION WITH THANKSGIVING let your requests be made known to God.
Our Abba Father is very anxious to hear from us, do not be full of worry – give all it to God!
And the PEACE OF GOD, which surpasses all comprehension, WILL GUARD YOUR HEARTS AND YOUR MINDS in Christ Jesus.
Being full of worry is an indication of a lack of trust and we are instructed to trust in the Lord with ALL OUR HEART! And he will DIRECT OUR PATHS!!! (Pro. 3: 5-6)
Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything, worthy of praise, DWELL ON THESE THINGS.
Worry, NO! So, how do we occupy our minds? What is true, honorable, right and pure…
The things you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, PRACTICE THESE THINGS, and THE GOD OF PEACE WILL BE WITH YOU. (Phil. 4:4-12)
Practice these things and…
THE PEACE OF GOD, WILL GUARD YOUR HEARTS AND YOUR MINDS!
