I've had a lot of different things going through my mind lately. Some concerning, some worrisome and others just very random. We have a lovely lady at work named Debbie who sends out what she calls the "Word of the Day"
Here was yesterdays:
“Whatever things are true, whatever things are noble,…whatever things are of good report,…meditate on these things…. And the God of peace will be with you.” Philippians 4:8-9
Meditating on the good things of life means that your mind is dominated by…good ideas, concepts, and insights. What does this mean to us in a practical sense? When we choose to think about those things that inspire us, encourage us, teach us, and build us up emotionally, we find that we want to follow God’s will and we will desire to remain faithful to Him. When we choose to think about the majesty and glory of God, we rely upon Him with increasing faith and trust.
It doesn't matter when she send it out it always has relevance in what is going on in my daily life. I felt like this one was just a reminder that I should not worry about things that are not in my control. I must, I know now and I admit it out right, that I need to be reminded of God's power and love and that if our thoughts and actions ultimately glorify God and we are using our gifts to the best of our abilities then things will be ok and there will be Peace within us. Being able to live peacefully feeds into all aspects of our lives.
I hope I can teach Claire about God's love and power the way my Mom taught me. Hopefully she will come to know and love the scripture and realize that even though this book is a collections of writings and stories from thousands of year it still holds very true and can be very useful to our lives and our happiness.
