Some might despair at what the passage asks of us: rejoicing all the time, even when we’re down; being reasonable all the time, even when we don’t feel gentle or reasonable; being anxious for nothing when we in fact feel anxiety. However, this is an application passage: the application of a foundation. We need to develop a mind set on peace, a mind that is focused on and dwelling on peace of Christ.

The Almighty God is ever present to faithfully honor His promises of covenant and mercy.

Who will carry the torch for you once you have gone to your eternal reward?

God, in His perfect wisdom, knows what makes a good leader: character, faith, and wisdom.

The assurance of knowing is meant to be not only faith-producing and sustaining but also is both the express will of God for man...

Habakkuk gives us a great example of humbly trusting God, even when he didn’t like what God had in store.
