"And the peace of God, which transcends all powers of thought, will be a garrison to guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus" (Philippians 4:7).

Can you for a moment just imagine having a peace in your life that transcends, goes beyond, exceeds all powers of thought?  Can you imagine how strong that must be?  To have power surging through your being that will give you a peace regardless of the circumstances and having that power in you to barricade or occupy force over your heart and your mind.

What kind of force would it be that could surmount that much force inside you that it could send an occupying force to surround your heart and surround your mind to allow the Peace of God to abide and take control of your being, your existence?

 Now you can imagine probably a little more over the heart issue since that is the spirit of man, and it does belong to God the Father.  What about your mind?  It is your responsibility to make sure that every thought has submitted itself to God by knowing His words and following the life that is designed for you.  How can we make sure that our thoughts are submitted unto God?  I learned a long time ago that it is definitely my responsibility to renew my mind with the word of God and that my works be yielded to please Him.

It may seem simple to many people that will bring judgment to your life.  It may seem like you don’t care.  It may even appear that you ignore your circumstances, but in reality the circumstance that surrounds you today changes day by day.  The Lord says “I am the Lord your God and I change not.”  Our reality is fixed upon Him.  The thoughts that try to puncture your heart and make holes in your helmet are designed to destroy you.  The Bible says that no weapon formed against you shall prosper because you have chosen to lean and rely upon the Lord Jesus Christ and find your salvation in Him.  So you can take the time today to set your eyes upon the Father; you can set your face like flint to accomplish His good pleasure.  You know that you are special to Him; you are His child, and as long as you obey His commands nothing can in any way hurt or destroy you completely.

Just to remind you of the Peace that we are referring to I found a quote that I want to share. “The peace of God is that eternal calm which lies far too deep down to be reached by any external trouble or disturbance.”  Like wells of living water when we are in need, when drought may fall upon our lives, we dip into that living water to find that the life-giving source abides with us forever. Have a Blessed Day. May you find all that you search for this day!
