A Heart of Peace
Day 221
The phenomenal result of worshiping God and submitting to
His Lordship is that you experience peace in your heart, a peace that goes
deeper than the circumstances around you.
Phyllis, whose sister died, says, “Daily the Lord was
providing me with spiritual bread. I still was looking for that pouring out of
His grace and peace, and I just expected any time I was going to have this
overwhelming feeling of peace in my life, but it was not like that. It was just
a day-by-day supplying of the bread that I needed for that day.”
After her husband’s death, Jodie says, “I also experienced a
lot of peace from the Lord after I started throwing these things at His feet
because I knew I couldn’t handle them. His peace that passes all understanding
was very real to me.”
The Bible describes God’s peace as a peace that “transcends
all understanding,” or “surpasses all comprehension” (Philippians 4:7). This is
the only kind of peace that can flow deeper than pain and sorrow.
“Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you; not as the world
gives do I give to you. Do not let your heart be troubled, nor let it be
fearful” (John 14:27 NASB).
Giving Father, I pray
for Your peace in my life. Amen.
