Rejoice And Let The Peace Of God Guard Your Heart

Rejoice always in the Lord! No matter what is going on rejoice in the Lord. Good, bad whatever the Lord should be in charge and the enemy will flee…

Philippians 4:4-7 (NKJV) 4 Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice! 5 Let your [graciousness or forbearance]gentleness be known to all men. The Lord is at hand. 6 Be anxious for nothing, 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 minds through Christ Jesus.

We are to rejoice in the Lord always, what does that mean to you. The last word is the hard one ALWAYS. When things are going good rejoice in the Lord, when things are going bad rejoice in the Lord. When things are in the state of up roar rejoice in the Lord. There is no reason not to rejoice.

We are not to be anxious for anything. I do not believe that means we should not want things I believe what is being said is do not worry about it or want it to the point that nothing else matters. Our lives should not be run by desires but by prayer and giving thanks to our Father for all things.

Paul was setting in prison and was content even after a beating for he understood that our Father had him and he was in that place for a reason. Remember Paul and Silas they were locked up in prison and singing. The earth shook they were set free but instead of running they stayed and let the guard to Jesus and his family.

Now I am sure they did not plan that however they were content were they where at that time. I do not believe anything happens in our lives by accident. If we rejoice in it what was meant for bad can be used for good. Satan worked against Paul and Silas and the Lord used it for Good.

When Jesus was crucified and died the enemy thought he had won. However when Jesus stepped out of the tomb on the 3^rd day Jesus was the winner. I believe our Lord will use us the exact same way if we will allow it to happen. Let us learn to be content in whatever circumstance we are in.

Isaiah 26:3 (NKJV) You will keep him in perfect peace, Whose mind is stayed on You, Because he trusts in You. As I read this verse I then repeated it this way “You will keep me in perfect peace, when my mind is stayed on You, because I trust in You… I am not rewriting scripture I am just making it personal for me and the whole Bible is there for us to make it personal… May our Father bless you abundantly as you trust in Him. In the precious name of Jesus I do pray this all—AMEN!

Thank you for reading and may God bless and be with you and watch over you. And let us understand, it is time for us to BLESS GOD…  This Ministry is supported with and by your love offerings, please consider helping us to spread the Gospel around the world.

Isaiah 26:3 (NKJV) You will keep him in perfect peace, Whose mind is stayed on You, Because he trusts in You.
