"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."
Some of us may feel like we are pulled into this and that! Being tossed to and fro by the waves. Being carried away by every wind of doctrine and any deceitful schemes. Our minds are clouded. Being vulnerable to anything that may come as we were tossed to and fro by the waves in the scary wide-open ocean... so huge!
"What you have learned and received and heard and seen in me- practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you."
Learn how to stop allowing yourself being tossed to and fro by the wave. Start to stand up and walk in the midst of waves like Peter did with an intense focus. With that focus, we will have the God of peace with us. Don't ever look away from Jesus to look into the circumstances! Stay focused and let Him bring strength into your lives so that you can do all things through Him!
Thanks for the encouragement, Kari!!
