Packing Up To Go . . .

Finally, brothers . . .
whatever is pleasing . . .
dwell on these things (Philippians 4:8c, NRS).


Good Morning!

We are packing up to go to a new community. I can’t say moving is easy; however, I can say moving is right for us. If we go where God says to go, then we are going in the right direction. Peace is given to those who go where God says to go . . . peace . . . Shalom. . . an awareness that God is present in helping us to go . . . and knowing God is good wherever He sends us.

Christ-followers are called to go where God is going. To discern where God says we are to go we need to develop thoughts that are pleasing to Him. There is a profound difference in forming a mindset with the core thought—“God, wherever and whenever You want me to go—I will go” versus the thought “God, I don’t want to go . . . don’t make me go .

We are asked to think on whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, and whatever is pleasing . . . Thoughts that please God transform the mind, changing our life. The key to forming thoughts that please God is surrender.

Surrender.
Form thoughts that please God.
Dwell on thoughts that please God.
Keep aligned with pleasing thoughts in your attitude and actions: Go where God says to go.
Receive the peace of God.
Shalom.

Learning with you to choose to think on whatever is pleasing to God,
Kerrie
