This is Steve and Welcome back to another segment of Press On. This is called "In Me".
Philippians 4:7
And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
If you went out shopping for peace where would you go? Where do most people go? The world right? Internet relationships, expensive toys, politically correct sports, Hollywood violence, dysfunctional social media, corruption in politics and world of lock downs and war. Is that where you shop?
We often define peace as the cessation of war or turmoil. As discussed earlier this is not the kind of peace Paul is talking about. However, it could be...one question that you should ask yourself, that effects your state of peace, is “who who you are at war with.” Hear the words of Jesus found in John 16:33
“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”
The key words here are “in me” you will have peace.
“In me you will have peace, in this world you will have trouble.”
Jesus is making a clear distinction between where you will find real peace and where you will not. In Christ we find real peace, in the world you find trouble.
Here is an obvious question so why do we keep looking for real peace in a world where all you will find is trouble?
Secondly, are you at war with God?
Jesus and Paul speak of a supernatural peace that results when we are no longer at war with God.
Perhaps for you the beginning of a lasting peace “that state of inner repose and quietness, even (especially) in adverse circumstances” starts when you face God and begin a long over do conversation.
There is much more to this story but for today : Understand that internal peace comes not from the world but from the restoration of your relationship with your creator.
In him there is eternal peace.
What are you waiting for?
Press on, Steve
