Philippians 4:4-8 ~ think about these things

Is Covid 19 actually the movie, "Groundhog's Day" ?

Today, I felt the 'stuck in the rut' start over again. I opened Facebook up and found a scripture for my Road To Emmaus, warm heart to the Lord, moment. Flipping through Facebook, I found several worthy Bible Verses.

And then this, this is the moment:

Philippians 4:5-8

5 Let your reasonableness be known to everyone. The Lord is at hand; 6 do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. 7 And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

8 Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.

Sufficiently cheered, I had an errand to run to the hardware store. In cheerfulness, I lowered windows. And thought about the virus changing viewpoints on automobiles, our cars have become a shield. A refuge. A solace. And ~ Cheerful.

As the wind began to invite the late spring into the car, I remembered going to Augusta, Appling, Georgia for Edward's Birthday a few years ago. We were on the way to a State Park and the morning was so early, fog was rising in the fields and on the road. Soon, we found that a V-shaped flying group of Canada Geese were flying in front of us on the road. We were the tail end of the V. In the V point. That very cloudy morning, we lowered the windows and for a few minutes, we flew with the Geese.


And in this memory, I thought of Renewal. Rejoicing. A few moments earlier, I hadn't wanted to hear the song, "Rejoice Always", I just wasn't feeling this. Gratitude isn't easily forced after a few weeks of this Virus.

And in my mind, with the air rushing past me, with the Geese flying memory, in the morning sunlight, I wondered what other verses my memory would recall:

1 Peter 1:12
They were told that their messages were not for themselves, but for you. And now this Good News has been announced to you by those who preached in the power of the Holy Spirit sent from heaven.

 It is all so wonderful that even the angels are eagerly watching these things happen.


2 Kings 2
9 When they had crossed, Elijah said to Elisha, “Tell me, what can I do for you before I am taken from you?”

“Let me inherit a double portion of your spirit,” Elisha replied.

10 “You have asked a difficult thing,” Elijah said, “yet if you see me when I am taken from you, it will be yours—otherwise, it will not.”

11 As they were walking along and talking together, suddenly a chariot of fire and horses of fire appeared and separated the two of them, and Elijah went up to heaven in a whirlwind.

12 Elisha saw this and cried out, “My father! My father! The chariots and horsemen of Israel!”



Isaiah 40:31
They who wait for the LORD shall renew their strength; 
they shall mount up with wings 
like eagles;
they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.


Psalm 83:3-4

Even the sparrow has found a home, and the swallow a nest for herself 
where she places her young by Your altars, O LORD of Hosts, my King and my God. 

4 How blessed are those who dwell in Your house; they are ever praising You.
 Selah


The music we play to renew.

Psalm 43:4
Then I will go to the altar of God, to God my exceeding joy, and I will praise you with the lyre, O God, my God.

Psalm 116:7
Return to thy rest, O my soul; for the LORD hath dealt with me beautifully.

Matthew 6:26
Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet our heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?

And then:

Psalm 11:1
In the LORD I take refuge. How then can you say to me: "Flee like a bird to your mountain."


Psalm 57:7
My heart, O God, is steadfast, my heart is steadfast; I will sing and make music.

Jeremiah 29:13

You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.

In all seasons and circumstance.

John 8:36
So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.

Because we find:

Psalm 68:19
Blessed be the Lord, who daily loadeth us with benefits, even the God of our salvation.
 Selah!

Your Path will find Your Road to Emmaus.

And in finding your Scripture, remember to build the Way. Recruit Google using the word, "Bible" and a few chosen words.

1 Peter 2:5

You yourselves like living stones

 are being built up as a spiritual house,

 to be a holy priesthood,

 to offer spiritual supernatural, regenerate offerings

 acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.

Taking the moments we find a glimpse of Heaven on earth and making the most of this time by finding the verses in Scripture.

Thomas Jefferson did this. He clipped out from the Bible the verses giving him the Road to Emmaus. He didn't have the liberty of a smartphone. We know people fuss and fuss about this. Yet Thomas Jefferson diligently found God's Word where his heart knew God. And we all then know on July 4th, John Adams said, in a far looking vision, "Thomas Jefferson Lives!"

One witness said yes, this is true. The other witness said I heard something, but I'm not sure John Adams said that.

John 12:28-30
28 Father, glorify Your name!”

Then a voice came from heaven: “I have glorified it, and I will glorify it again.”

29 The crowd standing there heard it and said that it had thundered.

Others said that an angel had spoken to Him.

30 In response, Jesus said, “This voice was not for My benefit, but yours."


God of All. God of the Heavenly Host. God of Salvation. Ancient of Days. God wouldn't fuss over Thomas Jefferson looking for the places of God where Thomas Jefferson connected. We won't reach God's Abilities, we find He reaches to us. We Love because God first loved us.


Abba.

The LORD is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer. My God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.

May my meditation be pleasing to Him, for I rejoice in the LORD.

The Comforter, He, The Lord always before me, 

He is at my right hand, that I may not be shaken.

And day by day, attending (ourselves as the Temple of God), together 

and breaking bread in our homes, 

we received our food with glad and generous hearts, 

Praising God and Jesus having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to our number day by day 

those who were being saved.



This Day is Arriving, we hold the Faith.

Today, I saw people getting coffee sitting in their tailgates, joyful to see.

We believe God will see us through to thrive and live seeing Heaven upon earth. For His Good will to provide for us. To live to Seek God First and Live having Love, Peace and Joy.

Uphold us, Father. Uphold those we Love.

Increasing in the knowledge of God; being strengthened with all power,
according to His glorious might, for all endurance and patience with joy.

Finding Peace is finding the Word of God to hold onto Today.

We ask for the virus to end and Joy in Recovery.

God Himself Bless, Sustain, Comfort
President Donald Trump,
Vice President Pence,
Governor Abbott and these 50 United States Governors.
The people working, working tirelessly, and bravely to aid Father God's Good Creation in Health, in Peace, in Prosperity
and the Blessing of Jesus Christ Himself, on earth as it is in Heaven.

In Your Heart, Jesus Christ, Amen.

♔ Lord Jesus Saves! †
