Rejoice!
I rejoice
in the Lord, I delight and gladden myself in Him; again I say rejoice! I do not
fret or have any anxiety about anything, but in every circumstance and
everything by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, I continue to make my
wants known to God.
I
have that quiet state of a mind assured of its salvation through Christ. I fear
nothing from and am content with God’s goals for me in life. I have that peace
which goes beyond all human understanding and it guards my heart and mind in
Christ Jesus.
I
think on those things that are true, worthy of reverence, are honorable, and
seemly, just, pure, lovely and loveable, kind and winsome and gracious,
whatever has virtue and excellence, those things worthy of praise. I think on
and weigh and take account of these things. I fix my mind on them. I practice
these things and the God of peace is with me.
Philippians
4:4-9
