Gods good morning to me.

I woke up to a friend that needed encouragement this morning. So, I went to the bible just looking for how she could be comforted by God promises.

"Rejoice in the Lord always, I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanks, present your present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends tall understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."

Philippians 4:4-7

There is a lot of depth to this versus.  "Rejoice in the Lord always, I will say it again: Rejoice!" 

I like how from the beginning it puts us where we need to be. Thanking and rejoicing that we have Christ. That rejoicing being in any circumstances, including suffering.

Foot note: Anxious: self-centered, counter productive worry not legitimate cares and concerns for the spread of the gospel.

I like.. "but in everything, by prayer and petition,"

Then it goes back to thanksgiving. I love how the Lord cares about what we think. So, much so that he listens to our requests and that we are even able to make requests to Him. Then at the end we see God giving peace that being totally opposite of anxious. 

I just getting really excited to know that God has a plan for my life and that nothing can stop what He has called me to.

Jeremiah 29:11 "I know the plans I have for you,"says the Lord,"Plans for good and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope."

So, not even that bad great on a test will stop what God has called me or even you too. Be encouraged in knowing that God loves you and he makes the impossible, possible.

more to come.. off to class for now.

peace.
