think on these things ...

i was just listening to a max lucado talk ... i can't really call it a sermon, it was just one of those informal types of encouraging chitchats he is known for ...  max was pondering about a hall of fame for scripture verses ... powerful ones like:  john 3:16, the Lord's prayer, Psalm 23 ... 

he wanted to add another to that illustrious list ... he nominated Philippians 4:4-8  ... he calls those verses the cure for anxiety ... 

my ears perked up and i took a good look at those verses again ... you see i have been bumping into them almost daily - and then some ... in fact, the above poster is one i used on my homemade calendar for February (homemade poster too!) !! ... 

i have had a heavy heart for a few months ... life hands out its fair share of sucker punches ... BUT GOD - knows all that ... in fact HE has prepared a word for any and every season in life we are going through ... 

i felt compelled to write in my blog ... to declare that the bible is more than a book ... it is a living Word, tailor made for those of us who long for the Presence of God to be with us through the hard times .... and through the sweet moments ... in fact through every moment in our lives ... 

read Max's nomination - Philippians 4: 4-8 ... and ... think on these things ...
