Words to Live By

Philippians 4:4-9 (King James Version)

⁴Rejoice in the Lord always: and again I say, Rejoice.

⁵Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand.

⁶Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.

⁷And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

⁸Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

⁹Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you.

Words to Live By

I will always rejoice in the Lord. Again I say, I will rejoice in Him!
I let my gentleness be made known to all through my actions and not empty words.
The Lord is always with me therefore, I will not allow myself to become nervous or worried. No matter what situation I find myself in, I have a loving heavenly Father who will intervene on my behalf. When I pay with thanksgiving in my heart, He causes everything to work together for my good - even those things the enemy meant to take me out with.
The peace of God is beyond all human understanding, but it guards my heart and mind in Christ Jesus. He hears every prayer I pray - even those that seem to go nowhere - and covers me with a shield. He is willing and able to take care of me. So why should I worry?
My spirit remains in authority in my life. I stay in control of my thought processes. I only think on things that are true, noble, right and pure. Only the thoughts of praiseworthy things - things that glorify my Father are allowed to enter my mind. Other things that cross my mind will just have to cross it and keep going.
I practice everything I have learned, received or heard from the teachers whom God has appointed for me. Through all of this I have Father's assurance that His peace is ever with me.
Once again I say I will rejoice and be glad in this day because it is the day He has made for me.
