Meditate on These Things

8 Finally, brethren, whatever things are atrue, whatever things are bnoble, whatever things are cjust, dwhatever things are pure, whatever things are elovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things.  
9 The things which you learned and received and heard and saw in me, these do, and athe God of peace will be with you.  

Philippian Generosity

10 But I rejoiced in the Lord greatly that now at last ayour care for me has flourished again; though you surely did care, but you lacked opportunity.  
11 Not that I speak in regard to need, for I have learned in whatever state I am, ato be content:  
12 aI know how to1 be abased, and I know how to2 abound. Everywhere and in all things I have learned both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need.  
13 I can do all things athrough Christ who strengthens me.

Philippians 4:6

Be anxiously careful for nothing - If men are not gentle towards you, yet neither on this, nor any other account, be careful, but pray. Carefulness and prayer cannot stand together. In every thing - Great and small. Let your requests be made known - They who by a preposterous shame or distrustful modesty, cover, stifle, or keep in their desires, as if they were either too small or too great, must be racked with care; from which they are entirely delivered, who pour them out with a free and filial confidence. To God - It is not always proper to disclose them to men. By supplication - Which is the enlarging upon and pressing our petition. With thanksgiving - The surest mark of a soul free from care, and of prayer joined with true resignation. This is always followed by peace. Peace and thanksgiving are both coupled together, Colossians 3:15.
