Always Being At Peace (Blog)

Chaos, conflict, violence, and turmoil deface our lives daily. One has to wonder if any good thing happens that is newsworthy. What can be said of a culture that seems to thrive on bad news? A person becomes fearful, anxious, distrusting, and rageful. There must be a balance somehow or else we become insensitive and desensitized to violence. I often wonder what would happen if there was a day when nothing but the good news was reported. We talk about peace when we are constantly warring on something or someone. Yet, God promises his people a peace that surpasses all understanding. The peace that the Lord gives you is not as the world gives because it eradicates fear and relieves anxiety. The Lord will make your enemies be at peace with you when your ways, please him.

Philippians 4:6-7 (NLT)

Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. 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.
