That's the NIV version, the King James starts it:
"Be careful for nothing"
Here's "careful" defined:
- attentive to potential danger, error, or harm; cautious
- thorough & painstaking in action or execution; conscientious
- protective
- cautious in one's actions
- done w/ accuracy or caution
- troubled; attend to w/ anxiety
- painstaking effort to avoid errors
This verse has breathed new life to me today. I've come to the end of myself this week. And can say I know what it is like to put forth painstaking effort to avoid errors... to attend to with anxiety.
Hope the grooveshark link top right works for you - it's a song by Vertical Church Band called The Rock Won't Move... the above verse is Philippians 4:6 and vs 7 says if we will be careful for nothing, w/ thankfulness put our requests before God...
his peace comes
it guards
our hearts & our minds
in something rock solid... Jesus.
Sometimes I can't decide if his word is crazy or good, or an unreplicable display of both - it for sure is freedom.
