The other day in my Bible reading, I saw some interesting words in this portion of scripture. I looked it up in several translations and in the greek. Here is an expanded translation I put together. This goes along with the message for tomorrow. I pray it helps understand these verses.
Philippians 4:6 - 9
Don't entertain worry at all, instead let the Holy Spirit be your best friend.
Tell Him what is going on and give thanks to the Father for all He has already done.
As you do, the assurance of God's wholeness because of what Jesus has already done will flood you and actually build a fortress around your heart and mind.
Stay in this peace by continually thinking on things that are honest, right, and pure.
Let your thoughts be governed by the law of Love. Continue to put into practice the things, as a
mentor I have taught you and the peace of God, that wholeness will be yours. CEXT
