Good morning ladies,
The word of the day is “recondite.” I really love reading the book of
Philippians. Paul is pretty
straightforward about the things that we need to focus on in our relationship
with Jesus. He even tells us that
sometimes we will not understand situations and circumstances of our
lives. But he make sure that he gives
counsel for you and me to worry as little as possible, knowing that God hears
our prayers and answers them in his time.
“Celebrate God all day, every day. I mean, revel in
him! Make it as clear as you can to all you meet that you’re on their side,
working with them and not against them. Help them see that the Master is about
to arrive. He could show up any minute! Don’t fret or worry. Instead of
worrying, pray. Let petitions and praises shape your worries into prayers,
letting God know your concerns. Before you know it, a sense of God’s wholeness,
everything coming together for good, will come and settle you down. It’s
wonderful what happens when Christ displaces worry at the center of your life.”
~Phil 4:4-7
My question is: how much of your day do you spend
celebrating life? I know that sometimes
it is difficult to understand situations that you face, and even when we look
towards the Bible sometimes it can be a little bit obscure and recondite. But the fact is, there are some things that
we may not ever understand. I've been
studying the Bible for a ton of years now, and I realize that there’s some things
that just continue to be questions in my mind.
That’s why I rely heavily on my meditation time with God, as well as the
mentors and other people who speak into my life. My prayer for you is that you take the
difficult situations and apply God’s simple command, which is to love him and
others, which ultimately leads to a better understanding of yourself as an
individual, and as a member of God’s family.
Praying for you,
MO
