One blessing we have at Westlake Baptist is this, we have several men and women who are gifted at teaching. \u00a0Therefore, from time to time we are going to post a devotion that they have written to hopefully encourage you as well as expose our readers to different styles of writing. \u00a0This blog was written by our Director of Missions, Linda.<\/p>\n
Think on these things:<\/strong><\/p>\n Phil 4: 8<\/p>\n How many times have you awakened in the night and are absolutely frightened or worried or consumed by something you are facing \u2013 or think you will be facing?\u00a0\u00a0 Many times, right?\u00a0 And did it turn out as bad as you imagined?\u00a0\u00a0 Probably not.<\/p>\n This verse in Philippians is the way to quiet those worries.\u00a0\u00a0 Claim it!<\/p>\n When you are bombarded by those thoughts \u2013 and you know those thoughts in the dark are so much more scary than they are in the daylight, repeat this verse – \u00a0\u201cThink on those things that are true,<\/em>\u201c\u00a0 Find those things that you know are true!\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 So, when you are worried about tomorrow and a new job, or a Dr. appointment, or a new schedule for instance.
