"And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus" Philippians 4:7.
I like Eugene Peterson's rendition of this passage in his Bible, The Message. "Don't fret or worry. Instead of worrying, pray. Let petitions and praises shape your worries into prayers, letting God know your concerns. Before you know it, a sense of God's wholeness, everything coming together for good, will come and settle you down. It's wonderful what happens when Christ displaces worry at the center of your life." (Verses 6 and 7)
Too many Christians, I'm sorry to say, have the peace that passes -- passes with circumstances, that is.
This is a short blog, I know, but nothing needs to be added to that admonition.
What kind of peace do YOU have -- peace that passes understanding or peace that just passes?
