The greatest book ever written yet totally misunderstood. The sheer poetry of the mystics are beyond words.

Very helpful during my morning devotionals

⁶ *Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.* ⁷ *And the peace of God,* which passeth all understanding, *shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.* ⁸ Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are *¹true,* whatsoever things are *²honest,* whatsoever things are *³just,* whatsoever things are *⁴pure,* whatsoever things are *⁵lovely,* whatsoever things are of *⁶good report;* if there be *⁷any virtue,* and if there be *⁸any praise,* think on these things. *-Philippians 4:6-8*

*That I May Know Him* *A Never-failing Refuge* August 7 ⁶ Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. *-Philippians 4:6* TMK 225.1 It is not the will of God that His people should be weighed down with care. But our Lord does not deceive us. He does not say to us, “Do not fear; there are no dangers in your path.” He knows there are trials and dangers, and He deals with us plainly. He does not propose to take His people out of a world of sin and evil, but He points them to a never-failing refuge.... TMK 225.2 How can we remain in doubt, questioning whether Jesus loves us, sinful though we be and compassed with infirmities? He gave Himself for us that He might redeem us from all iniquity and purify unto Himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works. He came to our world in the humble guise of a man, that He might become acquainted with the griefs and temptations that beset man’s pathway, and that He might know how to help the weary with His offer of rest and peace. But thousands upon thousands refuse His assistance and only cling more firmly to their burden of care. He comes to the afflicted, and offers to soothe their grief and heal their sorrow.... To the disappointed, the unbelieving, and the unhappy He offers contentment, while pointing to mansions that He is preparing for them.... Jesus, our precious Saviour, should be first in our thoughts and affections, and we should trust Him with entire confidence.... TMK 225.3 As each day comes we must in the strength of Jesus meet its trials and temptations. If we fail one day we add to the burdens of the next, and have less strength. We should not cloud the future by our carelessness in the present, but by thoughtful and careful performance of today’s duties be preparing to meet the emergencies of tomorrow. TMK 225.4 We need to cultivate a spirit of cheerfulness.... Let us ever look on the bright side of life and be hopeful, full of love and good works, rejoicing in the Lord always. *“Let the peace of God rule in your hearts,” and “be ye thankful” (Colossians 3:15).* TMK 225.5

*Our High Calling* *Peace in Affliction* November 17 ⁷ And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. *-Philippians 4:7* OHC 327.1 Jesus came to earth to be not only man’s Redeemer but his great Exemplar. His was a perfect life, a life of meekness, lowliness, purity, and unlimited trust in God.... He taught us practically the great lesson of calm, constant, unwavering confidence in our heavenly Father. He permits temptations, trials, and afflictions to come to His loved ones. They are His providences, visitations of mercy to bring them back when they stray from His side, and give them a deeper sense of His presence and providential care. *The peace that passeth understanding is not for those who shrink from trials, from struggles, and from self-denial....* OHC 327.2 The eye of Jesus is upon us every moment. The clouds which intervene between the soul and the Sun of Righteousness are in the providence of God permitted to arise that our faith may be strengthened to grasp the great hopes, the sure promises, that shine undimmed through the darkness of every storm. *Faith must grow through conflict and suffering.* We must individually learn to suffer and be strong, and not sink down in weakness.... OHC 327.3 It is a great kindness on the part of our heavenly Father when He allows us to be placed under circumstances that lessen the attractions of earth, and lead us to place our affections on things above. Frequently, the loss of earthly blessings teaches us more than their possession. When we pass through trials and afflictions, it is no evidence that Jesus does not love and bless us. The pitying Lamb of God identifies His interest with that of His suffering ones. He guards them every moment. He is acquainted with every grief; He knows every suggestion of Satan, every doubt that tortures the soul.... He is pleading the case of the tempted, the erring, and the faithless. He is striving to lift them into companionship with Himself. It is His work to sanctify His people, to cleanse, ennoble, and purify them, and fill their hearts with peace. He is thus fitting them for glory, honor, and eternal life; for an inheritance richer and more lasting than that of any earthly prince. OHC 327.4

*Sons and Daughters of God* *God’s Peace Keeps the New Heart* April 7 ⁷ And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. *-Philippians 4:7* SD 104.1 When we receive Christ as an abiding guest in the soul, the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, will keep our hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. The Saviour’s life on earth, though lived in the midst of conflict, was a life of peace. While angry enemies were constantly pursuing Him, He said, *“He that sent me is with me; the Father hath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please Him.”* No storm of human or satanic wrath could disturb the calm of that perfect communion with God. And He says to us: *“Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you.” “Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart, and ye shall find rest.”* Bear with Me the yoke of service for the glory of God and the uplifting of humanity, and you will find the yoke easy, and the burden light.... SD 104.2 Happiness drawn from earthly sources is as changeable as varying circumstances can make it; but the peace of Christ is a constant and abiding peace. It does not depend upon any circumstances in life, on the amount of worldly goods, or the number of earthly friends. Christ is the fountain of living water, and happiness drawn from Him can never fail. SD 104.3 Every man’s experience testifies to the truth of the words of Scripture, *“The wicked are like the troubled sea, when it cannot rest.... There is no peace, saith my God, to the wicked,”* Sin has destroyed our peace. While self is unsubdued, we can find no rest. The masterful passions of the heart no human power can control. We are as helpless here as were the disciples to quiet the raging storm. *But He who spoke peace to the billows of Galilee, has spoken the word of peace for every soul. However fierce the tempest, those who turn to Jesus ... will find deliverance. His grace ... quiets the strife of human passion, and in His love the heart is at rest.* SD 104.4

*In Heavenly Places* *The Gift of Peace* January 29 ⁷ And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. *-Philippians 4:7* HP 35.1 Sin has destroyed our peace. While self is unsubdued we can find no rest. The masterful passions of the heart no human power can control. We are as helpless here as were the disciples to control the raging storm. *But He who spoke peace to the billows of Galilee has spoken the word of peace for every soul.* However fierce the tempest, those who turn to Jesus with the cry, *“Lord, save us,”* will find deliverance. His grace, which reconciles the soul to God, quiets the strife of human passion, and in His love the heart is at rest.... *“Being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ” (Romans 5:1). “The work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever” (Isaiah 32:17).* HP 35.2 Whoever consents to renounce sin and open his heart to the love of Christ, becomes a partaker of this heavenly peace. There is no other ground of peace than this. The grace of Christ, received into the heart, subdues enmity; it allays strife and fills the soul with love. He who is at peace with God and his fellow men cannot be made miserable. Envy will not be in his heart; evil surmisings will find no room there; hatred cannot exist. The heart that is in harmony with God is a partaker of the peace of heaven and will diffuse its blessed influence on all around. The spirit of peace will rest like dew upon hearts weary and troubled with worldly strife. HP 35.3 Christ’s followers are sent to the world with the message of peace. Whoever, by the quiet, unconscious influence of a holy life, shall reveal the love of Christ; whoever, by word or deed, shall lead another to renounce sin and yield his heart to God is a peacemaker. HP 35.4 And *“blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God” (Matthew 5:9).* The spirit of peace is evidence of their connection with heaven. The sweet savor of Christ surrounds them. The fragrance of the life, the loveliness of the character, reveal to the world the fact that they are children of God. Men take knowledge of them that they have been with Jesus. HP 35.5

*That I May Know Him* *A Time to Close the Mind* June 27 ¹¹ Speak not evil one of another, brethren. He that speaketh evil of his brother, and judgeth his brother, speaketh evil of the law, and judgeth the law: but if thou judge the law, thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge. *-James 4:11* TMK 184.1 If Satan can employ professed believers to act as accusers of the brethren, he is greatly pleased, for those who do this are just as truly serving him as was Judas when he betrayed Christ, although they may be doing it ignorantly.... TMK 184.2 Floating rumors are frequently the destroyers of unity among brethren. There are some who watch with open mind and ears to catch flying scandal. They gather up little incidents which may be trifling in themselves, but which are repeated and exaggerated until a man is made an offender for a word. Their motto seems to be, *“Report, and we will report it.”* TMK 184.3 These talebearers are doing the devil’s work with surprising fidelity, little knowing how offensive their course is to God. If they would spend half the energy and zeal that is given to this unholy work in examining their own hearts, they would find so much to do to cleanse their souls from impurity that they would have no time or disposition to criticize their brethren, and they would not fall under the power of this temptation. TMK 184.4 The door of the mind should be closed against, *“they say”* or *“I have heard.”* Why should we not, instead of allowing jealousy or evil surmising to come into our hearts, go to our brethren, and, after frankly but kindly setting before them the things we have heard detrimental to their character and influence, pray with and for them? ... TMK 184.5 Let us diligently cultivate the pure principles of the gospel of Christ, the religion, not of self-esteem, but of love, meekness, and lowliness of heart. Then we shall love our brethren and esteem them better than ourselves. Our minds will not dwell on the dark side of their character; we shall not feast on scandal and flying reports. But *“whatsoever things are ...of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise,”* we shall *“think on these things” (Philippians 4:8).* TMK 184.6

I memorized philippians and James. I said it with you!!

¹⁰ That I may know Him, and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being made conformable unto His death; ¹¹ If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead. *¹² Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus.* ¹³ Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, ¹⁴ I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. *-Philippians 3:10-14*

*Here is Bible sanctification.* It is not merely a show or outside work. It is sanctification received through the channel of truth. *It is truth received in the heart, and practically carried out in the life.* 1T 339.7 Jesus, considered as a man, was perfect, yet He grew in grace. *Luke 2:52: “And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man.”* Even the most perfect Christian may increase continually in the knowledge and love of God. 1T 339.8 *2 Peter 3:14, 18: “Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of Him in peace, without spot, and blameless.” “But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To Him be glory both now and forever. Amen.”* 1T 340.1 *Sanctification* is not the work of a moment, an hour, or a day. *It is a continual growth in grace.* We know not one day how strong will be our conflict the next. Satan lives, and is active, and *every day we need to cry earnestly to God for help and strength to resist him.* As long as Satan reigns *we shall have self to subdue, besetments to overcome,* and there is no stopping place, there is no point to which we can come and say we have fully attained. 1T 340.2 *Philippians 3:12: “Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus.”* 1T 340.3 The Christian life is constantly an onward march. *Jesus sits as a refiner and purifier of His people; and when His image is perfectly reflected in them, they are perfect and holy, and prepared for translation.* A great work is required of the Christian. *We are exhorted to cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.* Here we see where the great labor rests. There is a constant work for the Christian. Every branch in the parent vine must derive life and strength from that vine, in order to yield fruit. 1T 340.4

*In Heavenly Places* *Trust When You Have Failed* April 25 ¹² Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus. *-Philippians 3:12* HP 122.1 In order to fight successfully in the battle against sin, *you must keep close to Jesus.* Do not talk unbelief; you have no excuse for doing this.... Unbelief always separates the soul from Christ. HP 122.2 It is not praiseworthy to talk of our weakness and discouragement. Let each one say, *“I am grieved that I yield to temptation, that my prayers are so feeble, my faith so weak. I have no excuse to plead for being dwarfed in my religious life. But I am seeking to obtain completeness of character in Christ. I have sinned, and yet I love Jesus. I have fallen many times, and yet He has reached out His hand to save me. I have told Him all about my mistakes. I have confessed with shame and sorrow that I have dishonored Him. I have looked to the cross, and have said, All this He suffered for me. The Holy Spirit has shown me my ingratitude, my sin in putting Christ to open shame. He who knows no sin has forgiven my sin. He calls me to a higher, nobler life, and I press on to the things that are before.” ...* HP 122.3 The humility that bears fruit, filling the soul with a sense of the love of God, will speak for the one who has cherished it, in the great day when men will be rewarded according as their works have been. Happy will be the one of whom it can be said, *“The Spirit of God never stirred this man’s soul in vain. He went forward and upward from strength to strength. Self was not woven into his life. Each message of correction, warning, and counsel he received as a blessing from God. Thus the way was prepared for him to receive still greater blessings, because God did not speak to him in vain. Each step upward on the ladder of progress prepared him to climb still higher. From the top of the ladder the bright beams of God’s glory shone upon him. He did not think of resting, but sought constantly to attain the wisdom and righteousness of Christ. Ever he pressed toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.”* HP 122.4 This experience every one who is saved must have. HP 122.5
