MARCH 1
The peace of God, which
passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through
Christ Jesus.—Phil.
4:7. |
|
It is not our own peace
that is here referred to. It is the peace of God—the peace which
comes to us from a realization of God’s power and goodness and
willingness to hold us by His right hand as His children. The
thought is that this peace stands guard continually, as a sentinel,
to challenge every hostile or worrying thought or fear. It keeps the
Christian’s mind so that he at heart has peace with the Lord,
fellowship, communion; and it guards his mind also, his reasoning
faculties, instructing him and assuring him respecting the Divine
power and wisdom and
love. |
