Philippians 4: 4-9 (MSG) Final Exhortations "Celebrate God all day, every day. I mean, revel in him! 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 Master 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 centre 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 his most excellent harmonies".
As Christians we have celebrated Jesus’s birth. With the uplifting services, and
Candlelight Carols and Carols in the Swan there was so much joy to fill us but
how easy is it to maintain that joy when things rapidly deteriorate, and you’re
faced with the darkness of a New Year?Listen to Ron's blog on the passage here:-
