Paul wrote by THE HOLY SPIRIT in Philippians chapter 4:
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 understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
Each of us came into this world by the Divine Intent of FATHER for none were born by accident or beyond HIS awareness. HE knew us before we were formed in the womb and HE knows us after we physically depart this earth. The challenge set before each of us is to fully embrace our calling and faithfully execute that calling with the gifts we have been given. When we are on that ordained path we experience peace no matter what is transpiring around us. All the circumstances that arise are temporary in nature and we must look to HIM WHO is Eternal and Everlasting for our answers.
There are questions and challenges each of us face that may test our Love, faith, and hope. We must not be moved by anything which may create anxiety in our hearts but each of us must guard our hearts through Christ Jesus. IN HIM we have our being. By His Word He calmed the raging sea and we should expect no less. By His Word He healed the sick and cast out devils thus we should place our trust IN HIM rather than the circumstances before us.
We must not let traditions of men which oppose FATHER’S Word invade our thinking. Men will impart a word which is designed to support their bias and motive based on their limited understanding. Why settle for less when we have access to THE ONE WHO is the Great I AM. We must purpose to put our trust in FATHER and HIS Most Holy Son who is our Perfect Example. Let us pattern our thoughts, intents, speech, and actions after Our Lord Jesus Christ.
Compromise is the enemy of total success. We are told to press in and expect good fruit to come forth in our lives. Paul urges us by THE SPIRIT in Colossians chapter 1:
9 For this reason we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to ask that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding;
10 that you may walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing Him, being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God;
11 strengthened with all might, according to His glorious power, for all patience and longsuffering with joy;
12 giving thanks to the Father who has qualified us to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in the light.
Dwell, meditate, proclaim, personalize, and memorize this passage for it will serve you well on a daily basis.
“I walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing Him, being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God;
strengthened with all might, according to His glorious power, for all patience and longsuffering with joy;
giving thanks to the Father who has qualified me to be a partaker of the inheritance of the saints in the light.”
Amen!
