Peace of God (Phil. 4:7)

Allow the Holy Spirit to come upon your heart and to fill you with the peace that only Jesus can give. The peace of God is a blessed peace that even the world does not know. It is a peace beyond our very understanding.

Philippians 4:7 "And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension (understanding), will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."

This blessed peace is a fruit of the Holy Spirit (Gal. 5:22) and comes as we remain in Him. As we remain in Him we are filled with His Spirit and a perfect peace that guards our very hearts and minds.

Isaiah 26:3 "Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee."

This blessed peace is to rule our very hearts and minds.

Colossians 3:15 "Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body;"

Notice how it is the peace of Him. The peace of Christ. Not our own peace or a peace from the world. But peace that comes from Him and from knowing Him. This is a perfect peace even in the midst of the storm.

Matthew 8:24 "Suddenly, a severe storm came across the sea. The waves were covering the boat. Yet, Jesus was sleeping."

This is a peace that knows no bounds. It is a perfect peace that remains steadfast and firm. It can not be removed nor shaken. It is a solid peace. A peace the world has never known, and it is available freely for you and me as we look to Him and trust Him. God Bless!
