Peace

Philippians 4:7



"Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus."

Peace.

Many people go around seeking peace. This search of peace is found everywhere: peace on Earth, peace on the streets, peace in the home. But a lot of people don't find that peace and that's because we aren't looking in the right places. God is peace and we can never experience true peace until we experience God. The verse says that God's peace "exceeds anything we can understand." I know personally, I ruin God's peace by trying to understand it. But when we just accept what God is doing and let the feeling of peace wash over us we are able to experience the supernatural. We might not understand it and it might not come at the right time but God is there, that is the perfect time to offer up praises to Him. When you don't understand, just say thank you. The second part of the verse makes me smile and shows a little touch love at the same time. "His peace will guard your hearts and minds..." Your heart and mind are very personal which the devil knows too well, causing him to attack your heart and mind more often. When something gets into your heart it is able to manifest itself within you BUT (I love that word) with God's peace, you are protected. All you have to do is live in Christ Jesus. Sounds simple doesn't it? It is simple but that doesn't mean it is easy. Just know that once you come into contact with God's word, His awesome ways, and truly experience Him, it is hard to go back. Yes, you may backslide but you can never leave the hands of the Lord. He will just be waiting for you with open arms to come back to Him. So if you are looking for peace, the first place you should look is with God. They always says KNOW GOD. KNOW PEACE. Well, this verse tells you exactly what you get when you know peace, God's peace.
