PHilippians 4:8 popped into my email this morning as the verse of the day. God’s perfect timing – isn’t it always. Things can get chaotic. Life can be challenging. News can be depressing. Friends can experience loss. And God is still good.
I am in the final week of some commitments which often brings some craziness. And my mind is racing a wee bit more than feels manageable, yet I know it is all good. It is part of my learning to rely on the Lord at a whole new level. Each and every time I am in a season like this – God teaches me more about me as I get to know more about Him.
So in anything and everything – find what is true, noble, right, pure, lovely, admirable, excellent and praise worthy. God’s got you if you let him.
Summing it all up, friends, I’d say you’ll do best by filling your minds and meditating on things true, noble, reputable, authentic, compelling, gracious—the best, not the worst; the beautiful, not the ugly; things to praise, not things to curse. Put into practice what you learned from me, what you heard and saw and realized. Do that, and God, who makes everything work together, will work you into his most excellent harmonies. ~Philippians 4:8-9 The Message
