REJOICE
“I rejoice in the Lord, I delight,
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. Then
God's peace is mine. I have that
quiet state of a mind assured of its salvation through Christ. I fear nothing
from God and am content with Gods 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.”
