Peace of mind is a hot commodity. I’m betting you would agree. So many circumstances (and even some people we know) can steal our peace!The Apostle Paul talks about “peace that passes understanding.” What is that, and how do we access it? Peace that passes understanding is NOT…Easily obtained…it requires a willingness to study, to confess, to be humbled, to let go of control, and to believe.A vending machine of blessing…I put in so many prayers and out pops my solution!“Worldly peace” that comes from healing on the world’s terms or winning on the world’s terms or seeing those who threaten our peace punished.Peace that passes understanding IS…Only found in one place, that is a relationship with God that is deep and trusting. A lifelong pursuit to know God more.Trusting that God is at work. He is never a passive bystander.A result of being broken and humbled by our situation so that we are prompted to look for God.Counter cultural, no, it’s “other worldly.”The foundation for all hope in our lives, no matter what peace stealers threaten us.So, today, here’s your gentle reminder that the God of the universe is at work in your life, even as you feel peace stealers all around.Yes, he wants our prayers and our gratitude, AND he desperately wants a relationship with us. Think of this imagery. He’s got you by the hand, and he is walking it out with you. That’s the imagery in Josh Wilson’s song, The Things That I’m Afraid Of, from 2022. This song is a powerful reminder of God’sintention to walk through life hand-in-hand with us.Until next time, may the peace of God, which passes all understanding, keep your heart and mind focused on knowing and trusting God is at work in your mess!Have a blessed Easter!
