In All Things Give Praise

The Lord is at hand; do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Finally, brothers [and sisters], whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. What you have learned and received and heard and seen in me—practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you (Philippians 4:4-9, ESV).>>

We must praise the Lord in every situation. Rejoice because of what God has already done for us. Do not worry about anything, but pray about everything and begin to thank God for his will. Because what ever the answer is, it is what is best for us. If we do these things (pray and praise) God has promised us peace, remarkable peace. So, even if God does not calm the storm, God will give us peace in the midst of it.

God tells us how to keep his peace: with positive thinking. The power of our peace rests in our minds. In order to remain in God’s perfect peace, our minds must remain on God’s perfect will: God’s word, God’s works, God’s wisdom, and God’s wealth. We must:

> ·         Live and breathe God’s word;

  ·         Praise God for his works;

  ·         Pray for God’s wisdom; and

  ·         Pray and praise God for his wealth.

God’s wealth is the gifts and blessings that he has given, is giving, and will give his people.  So, rejoice for God is good.  Our peace is dependent on our praises and prayers.  God cares about our concerns.  We must pray and trust that God will work on our behalf; and in all things give praise.
