Past Rock Talks: Perspective

Perspective

We can find peace among-st chaos, contentment despite limitations, and joy even in our lowest moments. It all comes down to Perspective.





Philippians

2 Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 3 I thank my God
every time I remember you. 4 In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy 5 because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now, 6 being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus. 7 It is right for me to feel this way about all of you, since I have you in my heart; for whether I am in chains or defending and confirming the gospel, all of you share in God's grace with me.



A Different Way Of Thinking 

Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus. 6 Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, 7 but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. 
Phil. 2:5-7


Seeing From A Different Perspective

Do not be anxious about anything , but in everything,by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving,present your requeststo God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your
hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Phil 4:6-7



A Different Perspective On Worry

Finally, brothers, whatever is true...noble...right...pure...lovely...admirable-if anything is excellent or praise worthy-think about such things. 9 Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me-put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.
Phil. 4:8-9
