Philippians 4:4-8

I had to learn Philippians 4:4-8 for Sunday School for the Woman's class, and we had our lessons from the Women of Faith Conference from 2006. Our theme was Contagious Joy. What a joy it is to know what God has for us..and to be able to overcome adversity. What do we see above the trials that have been placed before us? What does God want us to do about the adversity?
The last part, (vs 8) we didn't really have to memorize as part of the class, but they gave it to us for our own notes to remember that God wants us to remember these things. I was looking for some scriptures for Teenagers on what they could do to remember to take with them, and this was one of the verses that came up....

I think that we all need to remember this verse, not just as an afterthought, but, because it has it so simply stated.......

Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, dwell on these things. Phil 4:8
