Day 7. Peace Beyond Understanding
Scripture
Philippians 4:7 (KJV)
And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
Reflection
A quiet field after rain offers a picture of stillness. The Apostle describes a keeping peace that settles the heart and the mind through Christ Jesus. This peace holds like a guard. It stands at the doorway of thought and feeling and grants rest. Prayer opens the way. Gratitude keeps the way open. As peace rises, hurried words give way to gentle speech and tight shoulders loosen. The presence of Christ fills the inner room and a settled joy remains.
Application
Bring your concerns to the Lord one by one. Speak them plainly. Thank Him for His nearness and for His care. Receive His peace as a gift and carry it into your next conversation.
Closing Blessing
May the peace of God keep your heart and your mind through Christ Jesus.
