Our Sixteenth 4th Day

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

Wow! I'm really running late today (tonight), but I've promised to write to you daily as a reminder to you and me of our mission and calling to the Lord. I'm not totally sure what it is that I've been called to, but I'm sure the Lord will let me know (if he hasn't already) when I need to. Whatever it is, I know God is with me and His Peace will keep me at rest (even when I get irritated). Here is one of my favorite passages, from Philippians, Chapter 4:4-8 (NIV)

Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. 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.

It's amazing that those words were written 2000 years ago. How little life has changed. The world is different, but life (and human nature) remains the same.

As I said, it's late, so I need to rest.

Take joy in the Lord and may God's Peace be with you,
Bill
