Connections - Rejoice, Rest, Request

Hmm, what a 'coincedence', thinking about how to set one's direction, when in comes an email into the office from one of the managers.

*ding* (imagine the over the hedge firefly :)



Rejoice, Rest, Request

1) Our direction is set by what we speak,
2) and What we speak comes from our heart.
3) Therefore, guard our hearts...
4) With the peace of God
5) By rejoicing (i say it again, rejoice! *grin*), and prayer..

So thats whats been happening during prayer n praise...!

Thank You, for a great prayer meeting yesterday, for giving us much to rejoice over. We cast our cares on you, we choose to give thanks, we choose to rejoice :)


3When we put bits into the mouths of horses to make them obey us, we can turn the whole animal. 4Or take ships as an example. Although they are so large and are driven by strong winds, they are steered by a very small rudder wherever the pilot wants to go. 5Likewise the tongue is a small part of the body, but it makes great boasts. Consider what a great forest is set on fire by a small spark. 6The tongue also is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body. It corrupts the whole person, sets the whole course of his life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell.

James 3:3-6


The good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart. For out of the overflow of his heart his mouth speaks.
Luke 6:45


Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life. - Prov 4:23


Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Phil 4:4-7
