The
WHY, HOW, & WHEN of Rejoicing
Philippians
4:6-9 NASB
(6)
Be anxious for nothing,
but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your
requests be made known to God.
(7) And the peace of God,
which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in
Christ Jesus.
(8) 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.
(9) 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.
We are to rejoice with a transformed attitude. We are not to worry. Paul tells us to pray with thanksgiving. Every day we have a choice to make about the
attitude we are going to display as we go about our day-to-day activities.
Paul gives us a list to help us transform our minds. We are to dwell on things that are true and
honest. We are to make it our choice to
have pure thoughts, to concentrate on things that are lovely and of good
report.
When we do these things, Paul says we will have
peace.
True PEACE now that is something to rejoice about.
