Today as I read the bible...online...I was encouraged and challenged in reading the following passages.

4 Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! 5 Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. 6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. 8 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.

12 I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. 13 I can do everything through him who gives me strength.

Philippians 4: 4-8 and 12-13.

So much is packed in this set of verses! I think what I will do is go over this daily this week to let it all sink in and I will write daily thoughts as they come to me from this passage.

It is easier for me to read the Bible online and journal online. What I am using is:

Penzu is a private online journal. You can post pictures if you want, print it, and simply save and store what you write.

I encourage you to read the passages above and journal your thoughts about them either in a notebook or online journal.

God Bless and Keep you Strong in Him!
