In chapter 4 of Philippians, Paul expressed the need for a state of mind we seemingly rarely have....peace.
We search for ways to obtain peace but rarely settle in to what is in Paul’s letter, a necessity.
How do you try and get to a place of peace in your life? It can’t be by looking around at this world, or the things in it, because they only bring desires that fuel worry, discomfort, and dissatisfaction.
No, we turn to the One who sustains peace because of His faithfulness and continuity. He continues to bless us in spite of ourselves and if we can turn these blessings into gratefulness we achieve the peace that goes with thankfulness. Thankfulness will do more for your life than any spa or retreat, or anything beyond our gratitude for God’s love, mercy, and grace.
Be thankful in all things in Christ Jesus concerning you, because there is great peace in trusting the God of the universe with our soul.
