Now unto him that is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen. Ephesians 3:20-21, KJV
The Peace of God
“Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.” (John 14:27, New King James Version)
The Peace of God is the harmony, tranquility and calmness of body, mind and spirit trusting in the power and grace of God amid earthly circumstances. Philippians 4:7 tells us, “And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.” This kind of peace comes from a combination of humility and courage when we seek beyond our mere abilities of understanding, and trust in the Lord with all our heart.
To appreciate God is to live in his peace because He is a God of peace. The closer you draw to God the more of his peace you experience. Drawing close to God builds relationship. Spending quality time with the Lord, in his Word, in Prayer, in service to him will purify our heart. Only those with clean hands and a pure heart will see God.
Prayer
Father God in the name of Jesus, I have allowed the troubles of this world to distract me. Forgive me Father. Your peace is a gift that I realize I need in my heart. Fill me with your peace Lord as I navigate this fallen world and learn the more of you. Lord, I thank you that you allow me to humble myself in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen.
