Whatever is True
Whatever is Noble
Whatever is Right
Whatever is Pure
Whatever is Lovely
Whatever is Admirable,
Excellent or Praiseworthy
Think about such things…
And the God of Peace will be with you.
Philippians 4:8-9
When I have a day that I do not feel God’s peace I ask myself these questions: Is what I am thinking about true, noble, right, pure, lovely…? Is what I am watching on TV (or reading) pure, lovely, admirable, excellent or praiseworthy? On a “no peace day” the answer to these questions is no.
Last week was a “not so peaceful” week for me. I was over busy and under nourished (not enough time with God/in His word). So to put it nicely, I was GRUMPY.
I’m involved in a prayer group and we met at the end of the week. We sang a song that became my theme song for the following week. Part of it goes like this:
“Jehovah Jirah, my provider, your grace is sufficient for me, for me, for me…………..”
I began singing this to myself through out the day without even realizing it. Wow, did my attitude change. His grace really is more than enough and he gives me more every day!
