Find deep satisfaction in Jesus -
his words, his works, his ways,
how he is with us.
I just want to say it again: Enjoy him!
Then allow that deep satisfaction
to gentle your words and actions
so they surprise everyone, even you!
And now you see the Lord Jesus,
gentle and humble, is near
and is your Teacher in all things.
So learn to hear his gentle teaching
over your anxious, hurried thoughts and feelings
by asking for his help with everything
and gratefully knowing he will help you as he has before.
Then you will find you are not
easily alarmed or offended
but completely at ease at God's side
with the sure defense of Jesus
against all attacks on your heart and mind.
(Meditation on Philippians 4:4-7)
