Hello my friends

The title of today’s episode is: “THE PEACE OF GOD”

Peace can be described as the absence of fear, anxiety and depression.  Only in Him can we find true peace.  Just turn on the evening news; there is plenty of news to cause anxiety.   But God’s children can have peace even in the middle of the worst conditions. Things in this world can cause all sorts of fear and anxiety. We are facing scary times, but we can still have peace. God will give us peace if we allow him to work. There are times that God wants us to just stand still, in the quiet of the moment and trust. Being born again or filled with His spirit gives us the peace that passes all understanding.

Many feel like they can only find peace in a quiet place such as camping neat a quiet mountain streams. I love walking the beach early in the mornings while the sun is just starting to put a soft glow on everything. There are only a few people out that time of day and all is quiet except the waves gently rolling in and out. I love to talk to God and let his peace wash over me. I feel like God is surrounding me like a  big soft comforting blanket. The feeling I get praying on the beach, in the early morning, reminds me of the verse in Philippians. It says a peace that passes understanding. For me I feel like I can connect to God quicker at the beach. But God is everywhere and peace is not a place as much as it is a state of being. Even in the middle of chaos we can have peace.  

Paul and Silas had every reason to be anxious.  They were in prison, not sure of the outcome. They decided to praise the Lord.  They sang songs and prayed.  God caused an earthquake and set them free. Now they could have run away, but they chose to help someone else instead.  That is what Christians do.  Help others, even when you need help yourself.  Why?  Because they had peace and security in Christ.

Phil 4:6-7 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. 7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

What does it say keeps our hearts and minds? God’s peace. When we are in a place to have God’s peace we do not have fear, anxiety or depression. It says we can have his peace by not allowing our circumstance wash over us and cause anxiety. With prayer and worship we are to make our requests known.

We can have peace even when everything is falling apart around us. I hope this encourages you to seek God’s peace. Look to him when trials and troubles come your way. He is there to listen and give you the peace which truly is beyond our understanding.

Today is flag day, and I am reminded that the reason we have peace in our country is because so many have died for our country.  So happy flag day to all the active military and veterans. Thank you for all you have done for the cause of freedom.

Thanks for watching,
