Shalom,

We read Philippians 4 in our Spoken Word Bible Reading Plan for today! There is SO much great Truth and powerful instruction in this Epistle! Verse 4 is a great place to start! 

4 Rejoice in the Lord always [delight, gladden yourselves in Him]; again I say, Rejoice!

That means "Stir up YOUR joy"! Only YOU can stir up YOUR joy! You cannot lay hands on someone to stir up joy and you cannot confess it over them! This commandment is given to each and every believer! So let's DO IT!!! Then in verses 6-9 we have these instructions!

6 Do not fret or have any anxiety about anything, but in every circumstance and in everything, by prayer and petition (definite requests), with thanksgiving, continue to make your wants known to God. 7 And God’s peace [shall be yours, that tranquil state of a soul assured of its salvation through Christ, and so fearing nothing from God and being content with its earthly lot of whatever sort that is, that peace] which transcends all understanding shall garrison and mount guard over your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. 8 For the rest, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is worthy of reverence and is honorable and seemly, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely and lovable, whatever is kind and winsome and gracious, if there is any virtue and excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think on and weigh and take account of these things [fix your minds on them]. 9 Practice what you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, and model your way of living on it, and the God of peace (of untroubled, undisturbed well-being) will be with you.

Let's learn to become consistent DOERS of the Word of God. THEN we will have the WORD'S results! Here is Hillsong with "Prince of Peace":

Shalom in Him!
