The God of Peace

Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you. – Philippians 4.8-9

Crisis times are the times we most need to sense the presence of the God of peace. Today is one of those times.

After the list of things Paul says that we can sense the presence of the God of peace if we focus on the things we are told to focus on and to do what God’s word says.

A couple of verses ago we say that the peace of God will be with us – now we read that the God of peace will be with us. I love that God puts that both ways. It kind of gives an extra measure of comfort.

We certainly are not going to find peace in this world. We are most certainly not going to find it in these most uncertain of days. We cast our cares on God, we do what God tells us to do, we think on the right things and then we will find.

Walk in the comfort of the peace of God empowered only by the God of peace.
