"THE LORD IS NEAR"

Philippians 4

⁶ Do not fret or have any anxiety about anything, but in every circumstance and in everything, by prayer and petition (definite requests), with thanksgiving, continue to make your wants known to God.

⁷ And God’s peace [shall be yours, that ^[tranquil state of a soul assured of its salvation through Christ, and so fearing nothing from God and being content with its earthly lot of whatever sort that is, that peace] which transcends all understanding shall ^[garrison and mount guard over your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.

⁸ For the rest, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is worthy of reverence and is honorable and seemly, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely and lovable, whatever is kind and winsome and gracious, if there is any virtue and excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think on and weigh and take account of these things [fix your minds on them].

 

DEAR PRECIOUS BELIEVER; DID YOU KNOW THIS MORNING, THAT YOUR MIND MATTERS TO GOD? THE VERSES ABOVE ARE FOR YOU TO SEIZE UPON. HIS PEACE TRANSCENDS ALL YOUR UNDERSTANDING, AND HE DESIRES FOR YOU TO BE FREE FROM ALL ANXIETY. PEACE BE UPON YOU.
