Meditate
On
Be
anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with
thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God,
which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through
Christ Jesus.
Philippians
4:6–7
Experience Jesus’ Robust Peace
Peace
is not the absence of trouble in your life. It is possible to be in the midst
of the biggest crisis in your life and still experience peace. That’s the true kind
of peace that Jesus gives—peace that surpasses all understanding. Naturally
speaking, it does not make sense for you to feel completely at rest and at
peace in the middle of a clearly stressful situation, but supernaturally, you
can be filled with His peace!
The
world defines peace based on what is happening in the sensory realm. Its notion
of peace would look something like this: A man lying in a hammock on a white
sandy beach with waves rolling languidly along the shoreline. It calls that
peace—until reality kicks in!
Beloved,
you cannot use your external surroundings to permanently influence the turmoil
that you are feeling inside. Only Jesus can touch what you are feeling inside
and turn that turmoil into His peace. It’s not the other way round.
With Jesus,
transformation is always from inside out and not outside in. So when you turn
your cares into prayers and seek His presence and favor, He puts a peace and
rest in your heart that is robust and secure. You will find yourself able to
face any challenge without worry or stress, regardless of your circumstances
and environment!
