Gibb's Slapped.

Every feel like God is smacking you and saying (insert sarcastic, matter-of-fact voice) "HELLLLOO?!?!?" I always picture it as Gibb's slapping DiNozzo or McGee on NCIS....

Well, God's been dealing with me a lot lately about some stuff (that I can't really talk/blog about right now...but give it a couple days or weeks....)

Typically I have heard the below verses independent from one another (i.e. 6&7 together, 13 by itself, etc.), but I do not think I have ever heard it all together...[and by heard I do not mean Webster's definition of the word] I'm sure I have heard it all together before, but I don't think that I have ever really listened to it. You can hear something said over and over and over and over again, but not really understand the importance. The same way you can read the same thing over and over again and realize something new every time.

God's really be using this scripture to remind me that his plan is perfect and that what He has for me right now is His best for me.

Philippians 4

[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.

[9] Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me-put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.

[10] I rejoice greatly in the Lord that at last you have renewed your concern for me. Indeed, you have been concerned, but you had no opportunity to show it.

[11] I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances.

[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."
