Philippians 4:4
This command from Paul in Scripture has been on my heart and mind this last week. It is a hard thing to do this rejoicing thing.
But, I think I may have turned a spiritual corner so to speak.
The key here is "in the Lord."
I suppose that is pretty basic and obvious, but it has not been something I have ever really put into practice on an ongoing basis.
This last week, no matter what situation I find myself in, I am disciplining myself to turn my mind to "in the Lord," rather than the situation.
Although there have been some instances when I have forgotten, I am at least remembering within a few moments of my frustrations.
The result -
- much more contentment
- a much more realistic perspective of life.
- calmer emotions
- a better attitude toward God.
