V.1 Count the expressions of affection.
V.3 Women can be helping in many ways. A woman shines most where she does not appear publicly. A woman brings no honor to herself, or to the Lord by trying to do a man’s work. Scripture plainly describes the place for each.
V.4 When are we to rejoice in the Lord?
V.5-7 In these verses there are two things to be “let known,” One to people (v. 5), the other to God (v. 6). We are to be anxious (full of care) about nothing. Because the Lord is near. But now the positive side — we are to let our requests be made known to God. But thank Him first!
V.7 Look at the promised result. It is beyond understanding! God is a God of peace.
V.8-9 Then our heart is going to be ready, and free from all care, to think about these things.
V.10-23 Verse 11, Paul says “I have learned.” In our journey through life (our wilderness), may it be our experience to learn our lessons.
