Do you truly believe the word from God, spoke through Paul and written to the people of Philippi?
Are you one of those rare believers, oh child of God, who has chosen to allow these words to saturate and permeate your whole being? Have you allowed God to bring you to such a place? This place which is in Himself, alone?
"Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be obvious to everyone. The Lord is near.
Be anxious for nothing, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think on these things. Whatever you have learned and received and heard from me, and seen in me, put these things into practice. And the God of peace will be with you." Philippians 4:4-9
Rejoice. Gentleness. Anxious FOR NOTHING. IN EVERYTHING- intimacy with God and then His overflowing, continuous peace will GUARD your heart and your mind in Jesus.
True. Honorable. Right. Pure. Lovely. Admirable. Excellent. Praiseworthy. All of these are Jesus. And when your heart and mind is overwhelmed by Him you can rejoice, live in gentleness.
He will exchange your anxiousness for Himself, Peace. He will guard you and fiercely protect you (so you will dwell in safety) in ALL of Himself.
Are you one who chooses this Jesus, to be Himself in and to and for and through you? Oh, if you are....if you have come to understand...you have come to know what God's real gifts and blessings are....
