PEACE be with you
Before writing this blog, I looked up the definition of the word "peace". Here's what I found:
"A stress-free state of security and calmness that comes when there's no fighting or war, everything coexisting in perfect harmony and freedom"
I've found other definitions, but I've chosen to share this one because I think it sums up all the others I've found. This definition leads us to conclude that peace is a name we use to describe the feeling we get when everything is going well around us.
But what about God's "PEACE"?
Same word but different meaning!!!
"Yes, God's peace is also a feeling. But it's a feeling we have even when everything is going wrong around us."
So how do you explain that? To have peace even if EVERYTHING is going wrong around you.
Unfortunately no, we can't explain it, because this is the peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7).
But I can tell you how to have this kind of peace:
By keeping your eyes fixed on God, by prayers and petitions with thanksgiving. Tell God what you need ad thank Him for all He has done.(Philippians 4:6).
As you read this, I pray with all my heart that God in his infinite love may allow you to experience peace, His peace that surpasses all understanding.
I leave you with these verses, read them and meditate on them:Â
" Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus"
(Philippians 4:6-7)
"Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled, and do not be afraid"
(John 14:27)
PEACE BE WITH YOU!!ð
