Philippians 4:4-7
Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, Rejoice. Let your gentleness be known to everyone. The Lord is near. Do not worry about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
I find that “PHIL FOUR FOUR” is a great summary for the Christian’s life. There is relief from anxiety, assurance of the Lord’s presence and peace, a promise of current and future care, and a mandate to find joy – not in circumstances, but in the Lord. I also like that Scripture doesn’t just give us a quick instruction, but even in this short passage, there is gently repeated repetition, because I often need a second reminder to lock in a Godly perspective.
