Peace Be With You

May 4, 2024


...and the peace of God, which passes all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7).

 What is the "peace of God"? It's what God actually gives you to help you deal with life on life's terms. Tragedy and suffering will happen. So will laughter and joy. Whatever life throws at us, we can handle it well. The peace of God will strengthen us, and we will be able to trust Him no matter what life throws our way. Such a gift is invaluable, for many reasons. The closest single word I could find to describe this peace, is serenity, implacable serenity, the kind that enables virtues like courage in the face of evil, or when faced with a difficult decision.
