The bad news swirling around us is very depressing. I have been searching for good news. There did not seem to be any good news.
Wait a minute! I found good news! It is within me. The blessings when I begin to add them are so many. Just today I received a huge blessing.
This is another blessing I received while reading and found these instructions from Paul the Apostle [Philippians 4: 4-8]. It felt like an old friend just when I needed it most.
This was also one of Brother Kolenda’s favorites. He gave me a framed needlework of [Verse 8] and it hangs on the bedroom wall and every time I go to the closet it is there to read. I will be reading it more often. It contains modern up to date good news thinking. As we know the gospel means the good news.
In [Philippians Chapter 4: Verses 4, 5, 6, 7, 8] Paul was finishing a letter to the Philippians. He asked prayer for his fellow workmen /women.
[Verse 4] Rejoice in the Lord always: and again I say, Rejoice.
[Verse 5] Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand.
{Verse 6] Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
[Verse 7] And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
[Verse 8] Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
[Philippians 4:4-8]
Beautifully written instructions backed up by Paul the Apostle in his recorded actions.
I pray this will bless you today and everyday. May the Lord Jesus Christ’s peace and blessings be with you. Let us rejoice in the LORD always.
Think on these things that are good,

This is wonderful we need the word to encourage and guide us more each day and to have the ones to talk to about the good word
Hi Sylvia,
I Loved this teaching! It was much needed today. Our world is in big trouble. May GOD bless America because we need all the help we can get.
Take care!

We need to be praying for for each other and for our countries. Our greatest prayer would be for the truth of GOD’s word to be taught. We will pray for ignorance to be gone from the face of the earth.
