COMMENTARY PEARL

Walk His Way
   When the angel announced that Christ had 
been born, this was the message he delivered: 
I bring you good news that will bring great 
joy to all people. The Savior - yes, the 
Messiah, the Lord - has been born today in Bethlehem, 
the city of David! (Luke 2:10-11 NLT). 
   The Christian faith is a happy faith and 
a hopeful faith. We have hope in this life and 
in our relationship with the Lord, and we have 
hope for the afterlife. But this doesn't mean 
that Christians are happy all the time or that we 
should walk around wearing fake smiles. 
   After all, Christians have moments of 
sadness, too. Christians even grapple with depression 
and other difficulties that everyone else deals 
with. We have hard times and setbacks, even if we 
are Gods children. 
   Being a Christian doesnt mean that 
well be exempt from facing a tragedy or a 
hardship. But what it does mean is that in the midst 
of our difficulties, we can experience 
happiness. It comes down to something the apostle Paul 
frequently referred to when he was writing to the 
believers in Philippi. 
   There are 16 references to the mind in 
Philippians, which tells us that the secret of Christian 
happiness is found in the way that we think, not in 
the way that we feel. So if we want to be happy, 
then we need to think properly. 
   Paul filled his heart and his mind with 
Jesus Christ. And why is that important? Because 
the way we think will affect how we live. For 
instance, we will walk in the direction that were 
looking. Thats why its hard to look over your 
shoulder and keep walking forward. 
   In the same way, when were looking to 
the Lord, we will walk in His direction. Every 
action starts with a thought. And what we think is 
what well do. [Greg Laurie from Harvest 
Ministries; https://www.harvestdaily.com]
