Tag: WHat the Bible says about having God’s peace

Bible Verse of The Day – 12-3-20

Colossians 3:15 (NKJV) 15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful.

What should be ruling in our hearts?

Anger? No. Jealousy/envy? No. Greed? No. Fear? No.

What then? His Peace!

If His peace doesn’t rule, then we are off.

We need the Peace of God ruling in our hearts.

How hard is it to get His peace to rule? It’s not hard if we really want it.

God will help us as we listen to Him and get rid of the chaos, the noise.

All the hustle and bustle need to go.

Chaos should not be near a child of God. We should be sound and peaceful, even in the middle of a storm or in the midst of a battle.

God’s peace will surpass all understanding. He guards our heart and mind from getting out of control and He causes us to move accordingly.

Philippians 4:7 (NKJV) 7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

If we want His peace to rule today, let go of the things that are causing chaos. Listen to and follow His lead.

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.

Bible Verse of The Day – 8-7-19

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.

We teach a lot about God’s peace. It’s a very major factor in our own lives. It has transformed us and the way we react to things. It has also incredibly changed the way we see things.

It has so reshaped our lives that we find it critically important to share it with you as often as possible, in ways that will help everyone get a better understanding of it.

We have learned that where God is, there is peace. Where there is no peace, God is not there. It’s very simple yet profound at the same time.

What is it about this peace that makes it so special? It’s not of this world. It’s truly a spiritual phenomenon that can’t be 100% explained by words. But let’s give it a try and see if we can make it easier to understand and apply to our lives.

God’s peace doesn’t come because we follow a certain pattern or go through a predefined set of steps.

It doesn’t happen when we reach a specific milestone in our Christian walk.

And it doesn’t mysteriously appear just because we read or study a specific set of scriptures.

Here’s the easiest way we can explain it. God’s peace comes when we reach a point in our walk where we trust Him, no matter what we see happening around us.

It doesn’t mean that we become indifferent and simply brush everything off, especially when it comes to the things we see others going through.

On the contrary, as we grow in God, our compassion and love for others will grow stronger.

And our desire to do the right thing will become more pronounced in our own lives. We will become acutely aware of right and wrong, making every effort to do what is good and right in God’s eyes.

But when the storms of life come crashing upon us and those we love, we will understand and recognize that, ultimately, we are in God’s hands, and He is stronger than any trial we face.

Yes, we may still experience fear now and then, especially during those most difficult trials. But the peace of God will ultimately drive that fear away if we let it.

The peace of God is undeniably bigger than you and me, and it is something that we could never fully explain, especially to unbelievers. But as children of God, it is something that we all need to learn to walk in, letting it sweep away our doubts, our fears and our unbelief.

Bible Verse of The Day – 11-18-15

Philippians 4:7 (NKJV) 7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

As I sit at my desk this morning, on my wall is a plaque that says “PEACE.”

Things may be happening all around us in this world. Things that would like to steal our peace. But, as we stand together, praying for each other, seeking God in all we do, His peace is there for us.

Some may say “how do we walk in this peace when the world seems to be in a terrible mess? When our family member is suffering with addictions and diseases, and our finances are in turmoil? How do we have peace when our marriage is falling apart and our children are slipping away?”

It certainly won’t happen by someone saying “calm down, it’s not that bad.” That’s not going to help us because the truth is, sometimes it is that bad and very hard to face.

We can only calm down when we face the truth and allow the truth to speak to us, causing us to admit and realize that we need God to help us handle what we are facing.

When Caleb came back from spying out the land, he didn’t pretend what he had seen was not bad. He saw it for what it was. He knew there were giants in the land that they were told to possess, but he also knew God and His Mightiness!

He knew what they would be up against, but that they could overcome it with God’s help.

Turning a blind eye to what is happening around us, ignoring medical test results, or life-threatening situations is not going to make things any less troublesome. It won’t bring peace.

We have to face it, see it for what it is and then go after it.

Numbers 13:30 (NKJV) Then Caleb quieted the people before Moses, and said, “Let us go up at once and take possession, for we are well able to overcome it.”

Acknowledging our battle and asking God for help will bring God’s peace, His understanding and anything else we need.

Peace be with us today.

Bible Verse of The Day – 5-28-15

Philippians 4:7 (NKJV) 7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

It’s God’s peace that keeps us on the right track. Having His peace leads us into making the right decisions and doing the right things.

I know that there have been many times when have I wanted to make my own decisions, without consulting Him first, because I feared the answer He would give me would be something I wouldn’t want to hear. I’ve paid the price at times because of this, and have many regrets.

What would we rather have, God’s peace or to be doing what we want to do? We are the only ones that can answer this question for ourselves.

If we want to walk in God’s peace, there may be times we will have to say no to things we would love to be doing, and it will be pretty tempting to do the opposite. But when we walk in the peace of God, and experience the feeling it brings, we will never want to go back to walking outside of it.

There will be sacrifices we will make at times to continually stay in His peace, but it will be well worth it!!

Choose God’s peace today. Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 1-1-15

John 16:33 (NKJV) These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”

We are so blessed to be God’s children. What a good Father He is to us. Having God’s peace is the one thing that gets us through the toughest of tough times.

Without it, situations and circumstances can be hard, difficult and uncomfortable to deal with.

We could be going through a very hard time right now, and maybe some of us are. What we need to do is get the peace of God working in us to calm the storm.

The first thing we need to do is draw close to Him, by praying, reading His word and listening. When we pray, tell Him how we feel and what we are going through. Then ask for forgiveness for the things we may have done to contribute to the problem.

Ask Him for His Peace. His peace will help guide us through. It will help us make good decisions, not decisions out of anxiousness.

Philippians 4:7 (NKJV) 7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

Now that we’ve shared it with Him, we rest by trusting Him to show us the way.

Matthew 11:28 (NKJV) 28 Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
