Song # 1476.1 from Our Gospel In Song Collection by Col Johnston. In Paul’s letter to the Philippians he writes to tell them to keep the faith.
Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again. Rejoice (Philippians 4:4). Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near (Philippians 4:5). Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God (Philippians 4:6). And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7). Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable- if anything is excellent or praiseworthy- think about such things (Philippians 4:8). Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me-put it into practice. And the God of Peace will be with you (Philippians 4:9).
Thought for today: God can do extraordinary things through ordinary people.
Thought for the future: the more we look to heaven, the less we need on earth. Where will you spend your eternity?
