Devotion Sharing - Phil 4:1-9

Verse 4-6 are very familiar to us:

"Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! ...... Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving,, present your requests to God...will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."

This is a good reminder that we should learn to be rejoice no matter what situation we are in - by praying hard and rely on God.

Then it's another familiar verse 8:

"..whatever is true, whatever is noble,.. right, ... pure, ... lovely, .. admirable - .. excellent or praiseworthy - think about such things."

I think only when we firstly throw away our worries and our personally stuff (like daily work, goals which make us self-centered), and rely totally on God, we can have "extra capacity" to think of those true and good things from God. Then we can rejoice in Christ (it's like a cycle), got motivated and live for God.

For the past 7 months, my mind was usu. occupied with the baby stuff: Prepare this and that, how to take care of my own (like what to eat, plenty of rest, where to go), read books and spending time w/ the baby..etc. Really need to learn to cast everything to God and spare my mind to focus back on God. Sometimes, it would be very worrying about my girl's health n development, labour process and future but Father I know you would provide everything and I dun have to bother.

B/S, I'm so sorry that I can't spend time w/ u guys in f/p coz' of my very limited energy level but my mind is still w/ u all, thru' prayers.

Cheers..
