Message: "Rejoice in the Lord!"
by Rev.
Keith Mozingo
Reading: Philippians 4:4-9 (Message)
Celebrate God all day, every day. I mean, revel in the
Sovereign! 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 Savior 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.
Summing it all up, friends, I'd say you'll do best by filling your minds and
meditating on things true, noble, reputable, authentic, compelling,
gracious—the best, not the worst; the beautiful, not the ugly; things to
praise, not things to curse. Put into practice what you learned from me, what
you heard and saw and realized. Do that, and God, who makes everything work
together, will work you into most excellent harmonies.
