A Heart Lifted

Life has a way of presenting us with many different moments. Some are really great and we want to remember for a lifetime. Others, not so much. But in all these things, it is good for me to feel that I have someone that will give me guidance and watch over my life. Our God does that for us. In these times there is a list of things that is good for us to remember that we can do to help us through.

Philippians 4:4 Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice.
5 Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand.
6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

Paul encouraged the Philippians to rejoice in Yahuah (Lord) at all times. He then tells us what to consider, such as truth good reputation, the law, morals, good speaking, and so on. These are what we are to try to get ourselves to think about. By thinking on these things, we can learn to focus our expectations on the good things of God, who watches over us.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are our God and King. We love You and praise the name Yahuah (Lord). Send us Your overwhelming provision that our barns would be filled to overflowing and we can extend blessings to others. Forgive us our sins. Heal us, for there are those that need Your touch. Deliver us from those that steal from Your people, from those that would try to blot out Your name. We love You. In Yeshua’s (Jesus’) name. Amen.
