A peace that comes from God, by the means of Jesus making peace through his blood.
"Now may the Lord of peace himself give you his peace at all times and in every situation." 2 Thess 3:16
I can't control time or people. I can't be everywhere at once and expect to be rested as well. I'm stubborn and need the peace of Christ to dwell in my heart at all times. I need to cast my cares on him the first chance I get. What a waste it is to let myself become overwhelmed when I am given access to a trusting, faithful, loving, and kind provider. Why should I worry?
My jaded mind can't understand how God hears all my prayers, knows my hopes and fears, knows exactly what I need, knows exactly where I fall, etc. It's too much for me to understand. And that's exactly why I need a peace that surpasses all understanding.
A peace greater than intellectual wisdom....
A peace based in the confidence of the sovereign rule of the God of the universe, who is also the God of my heart.
My King and my best friend.
That's my main desire right now.
In peace I will lie down and sleep, for you alone, O Lord, will keep me safe.
Psalm 4:8
