Philippians 4:4-7
4Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say
it again: Rejoice! 5 Let your gentleness be evident
to all. The Lord is near. 6 Do not be anxious about
anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with
thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And
the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your
hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
A Christian life is not about a perfect and so easy expecting of zero challenges.
But it is a life with full awareness that in this world whether we like it or
not we will encounter of different kinds of troubles. God speaks to us in his
word to guide us on how to overcome it. And our reaction is very important in every
challenging situation. Apostle Paul encouraged all Christians family in Philippians
4:4-7 to react gently. Anxiousness can’t help any challenging situations in our
lives but only prayer can in the name of Christ Jesus.By prayer and petition,
with thanksgiving present your request to God.
Who is able to say thank you Lord God for the hardships and trials such
us personal or family problems, broken relationships, financial, and health?
Only those people who understood the reality of life in this darken world.
Jesus himself said that the world has only troubles to offer for us but in him
there is peace and victory. By this reality the truth will open our eyes and
mind to remain calm for God is in full control in all the situations that we
have. The only way to overcome it is to talk to God personally by prayer to present
before him all our needs and wants with faith that our prayer is being heard
and answered. The Lord is near. In advanced, there is no hold of our thanksgiving
to the Loving God for whom we believe that he is able because he is the God Almighty
of all.
After all our request have been submitted unto him our faith will continuously
give us a full of hope that will encourage us to always wait patiently to the
Lord with peace. For God’s thoughts is higher than our thoughts, his ways, his
plans is better than our plans and his will is perfect.
And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will
guard our hearts and our minds in Christ Jesus.
So, we are safe from our hearts and our minds in doing things which are
not pleasing to the Lord.
And surely there are people that God uses them as an instrument to help
you to go through it. It will also bless their hearts and minds as witnesses
with you about the love and power of God with in the situation. So again, we
will be able to rejoice in the Lord always. Anxiousness has no place in our
hearts and our minds if we allow Jesus Christ to dwell deep within. Through him
we have won the battle over anxiety, depression and all kinds of fears. Through
him, we are all secured! Thank you, Lord!
To God be all the glory forever and
ever! Amen!
