In turbulent, scary times, we who are redeemed have an amazing privilege. We can take our requests to God in a humble, thankful spirit and we then receive a "peace that passes understanding" which guards our hearts and minds. That's good stuff, folks.
Today’s Reading - Philippians 4:4-7
Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice. 5 Let your reasonableness be known to everyone. The Lord is at hand; 6 do not be anxious about anything, 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 your minds in Christ Jesus.
Prompting Praise
What character qualities of God are mentioned in this passage for which you can praise him?
What great works of God are mentioned in this passage for which you can give thanks and praise him?
As you consider the greatness of God, is there anything for which you need to repent?
As you consider the greatness and goodness of God, are there changes in your life the Spirit of God would make in you?
Praise the Lord
Of course, God hears your private prayers and your praise, but there is a blessing that comes when you voice your praise for others to hear. "Extol the Lord." That's what the Bible says. The comments are open if you wish to give God praise and thanksgiving that might bless us all.
