“Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer
and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of
God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds
in Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:6-7, NIV).
There is a peace that passes
all human understanding. It is Christ's peace, and no other man has the power to
take it from me. No person can wreck that calm. Only I destroy His peace in my
life when I allow life's worries to plague my mind and spirit. I am the one who
gives welcome to fear. I open the door to the enemy who steals and destroys. The
enemy stirs my human worry, but I am the one who opens my mind to his lies and
terror.
Today I decide to allow
nothing to disturb the calm I have in Jesus Christ. I must stop all distractions
and seek Him until His peace once more settles my mind and spirit. Those that
have the power to rob me of my peace and joy will not be allowed to disturb my
peace of mind and calm of heart.
Each problem I face will be an
instruction in the way to discover and keep His peace. Each interruption...each
struggle...each situation trains me in the way I should go. Every earthly
problem I face has the power to teach me the enduring presence of His peace. And
when it is mine, nothing shall disturb my peace in Him. Nothing shall break the
peace I have found in His love. Nothing.
