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

It’s the wonderful gift of God’s grace that gives us peace…or as II Thessalonians 3:16 tells us, “Now may the Lord of peace Himself give you peace.” And then there’s I Peter 3:11 that reminds us to,” Seek peace and pursue it.” So why do we spend so much of our time in a constant state of frustration because of the actions of others? Or aggravated in ourselves for not being able to physically do what we once did so easily? Colossians 3:15 tells us to let the peace of Christ rule in our life…. not exasperation. That’s because the peace of God is not a peace that stems from the absence of difficulties, but rather, it’s a peace that guards our hearts and minds in the midst of great trials. (Isaiah 26:3) So when frustration & disappointment overwhelms, seek out the quiet serenity & tranquility of God’s peace.
