And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. Phil 4:7-8
As I sit here today, gazing out of the window watching the rain fall and the wind blow the trees outside my home, it’s brings about a certain peace. There’s tranquility and a calmness that comes over me that honestly, passes all understanding and I know that the Lord is here with me in these still moments. It affords me the opportunity to think with the peace of God; a peace that tells me that I’m in a place where no anxiety is felt, where all my cares have been cast, and I have committed all into the Lord hands, knowing that He supplies all of my needs according to His riches and glory. A peace that confirms that He is with me; confirms the confidence I have in the God, and it keeps my mind thinking on the whatsoever things. His word tells me that, "Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on thee" (Isaiah 26:3).
Paul tells us in the verses, to think on the things that will keep our minds at peace. Everyday won’t be the same and some days you will have to remind yourself or come to yourself and get back on the right track of thinking. Our thinking can so easily get off track, especially with life happening all day, everyday. In Him we have a resting place, a place that is better than window gazing at rain fall; a place where there is fullness of joy (Psalm 16:11). Get there and get there often; get to the peace of God and let that peace rule in your heart and mind today to experience the peace that passes all understanding.
Until the morning, be blessed,
Cynde
