MARCH 26, Philippians 4:6-7

Jesus said, “...my peace I give unto you, not as the world giveth.” The peace that Jesus spoke of is the peace of God. As Jesus has said, it cannot be found in this world. When Apostle Paul wished his fellow Christians peace, he was also referring to the peace of God.

The human mind cannot understand the peace of God. It is of God and from God. God puts it into our heart because Jesus also said,” Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.”Therefore, we can experience this peace in our hearts.

When do we experience the peace of God? Jesus said that if we believe in God, our hearts need not be troubled. The Psalmist said that if our minds are fixed on God, we will have perfect peace. Apostle Paul said that we will receive this peace when we pray, giving thanks to God and telling Him our problems. When we believe in His Word and do His will, God’s peace will be with us.

Children, we need to remember 3 verbs that begin with the letter “C”. Commit. Concentrate. Confide.

Commit your life to God who loves and cares for you.
Concentrate on who God is.
Confide in God all your problems.

Do all three, and peace will rule in your heart for Jesus is the Prince of Peace.

Thought: When peace of God rules, anxiety flees.

Prayer: Heavenly Father, thank You for Your peace that You have placed in my heart. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.
