God Gives You Peace
Despite adverse circumstances,
Philippians is an encouraging letter
in the midst of persecution. Paul
rejoices esp the church’s steadfast
testimony for the gospel. Though
that testimony is threatened by
divisions in the church, Paul is
confident unity will be restored as
they imitate the humility of Christ.
And Paul urges rejoicing in the
Lord, prayer, thanksgiving and
meditating on positive things.
Lord, we will Pray & Give Thanks:
Do not be anxious about anything
but by prayer and petition, with
thanksgiving, present yr requests
to God. And the peace of God,
which transcends all understanding
will guard your hearts and your
minds in Christ Jesus (Phil 4:6-7)
Finally, whatever is true… noble,
whatever is right… pure,
whatever is lovely… admirable –
if anything is excellent or praise-
worthy – think about such things…
And the God of peace will be
with you (Phil 4:8-9). Amen.
