What peace we often forfeit, what needless pain we bear. If you don’t recognize that line, it is from a wonderful song: “What a Friend We Have in Jesus”. What peace we can have in God, and pain we could rid ourselves of if we would just trust Him and remember this verse:
Philippians 4:7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. We have to realize that the peace here it says “passeth all understanding “. Why then do we strive to understand everything that goes on? We aren’t meant to always understand but just to trust and believe God. Don’t search out man’s answers:
1 Corinthians 2:5 That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.
We put our trust in so many worldly things. For example, how often does weather say rain and we don’t make plans and it doesn’t rain. Our sports teams say they are going to improve and we get excited only to be disappointed. A friend that we put more confidence in than God and they let us down. If we will put our complete faith and trust in God we will have a peace that is indescribable and it’s that peace that will keep our hearts and minds at ease in Him!!
