Diving Deeper
Philippians 4:4-9
Read Philippians 4:4-9. Considering the concept of “the law of prayer is the law of belief”, spend some time meditating on how these verses encourage us to meditate on things that are right, lovely, and pure. What could this mean for the music we listen to? How does meditation on lovely things relate to rejoicing and not being anxious like we see in verses 4 and 5? Spend some time asking the Holy Spirit to convict and guide your prayers, beliefs, and life.
