Bible Verse of The Day – 8-28-19

Philippians 4:6-7 (NKJV) 6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; 7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

The peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, is the key to a life that’s not constantly marred by stress and anxiety.

Once we begin to get this peace, we will begin to see our lives change in many ways.

But, the key to this is reaching a point where we live in this peace. How does that happen?

It’s all about trusting God. You see, as we learn to trust God more, we will begin to have more and more of this peace in our lives.

This is something that takes time and effort to make happen. It isn’t the result of someone praying over us, laying hands on us or prophesying it over us.

It takes a deliberate effort on our part. The funny thing, though, is that this effort can’t be directed at obtaining this peace. It has to be aimed at building our relationship with God.

Our relationship with God is the foundation of every other aspect of being His child. The strength of that relationship dictates how every other part of our lives plays out.

So, it’s critical that we make the effort and spend the time to build and keep our relationship strong. When that happens, our trust in God will grow. As our trust grows, anxiety, worry and stress gradually fade away into the background.

Spend time in His word. Make a deliberate effort to pray often, being sure not only to talk to God but also to listen to Him. Do what He directs you to do. And watch your life change as the peace of God permeates it.
