Paul's last word to the Philippians

Paul was in prison when he wrote this letter to the followers of Jesus who lived in Philippi.

I doubt if he was being subtle.

These are straightforward words from a man who knew what life held in the near future.

I just wonder what our lives would be like if we REALLY believed what Paul says here...



 Philippians 4

6 Don't worry about anything; 

instead, pray about everything. 

Tell God what you need, 

and thank him for all he has done.

7 Then you will experience God's peace, 

which exceeds anything we can understand. 

His peace will guard your hearts and minds 

as you live in Christ Jesus.



  8 And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. 

Fix your thoughts on what is true, 

and honorable, 

and right, 

and pure, 

and lovely, 

and admirable. 

Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise.

9 Keep putting into practice all you learned and received from me—everything you heard from me and saw me doing. 

Then the God of peace will be with you.
