Philippians 4:7 (NKJV) 7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

As I sit at my desk this morning,\u00a0on my wall is a plaque that says\u00a0“PEACE.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Things may be happening all around us in this world. Things that would like to\u00a0steal our peace. But, as we\u00a0stand together, praying for each other,\u00a0seeking God in all we\u00a0do,\u00a0His peace is there for\u00a0us.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Some may say “how do we walk in this peace when the world seems to be in a terrible mess? When our family member\u00a0is suffering with addictions and diseases, and our finances are in turmoil? How do we have peace when our marriage is falling apart and our children are slipping away?”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

It certainly won’t happen by someone saying “calm down, it’s not that bad.”\u00a0That’s not going to help us because the truth is,\u00a0sometimes\u00a0it\u00a0is<\/em>\u00a0that bad and very\u00a0hard to face.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

We can only calm down when we face the\u00a0truth and allow\u00a0the\u00a0truth to\u00a0speak to\u00a0us, causing\u00a0us to admit and\u00a0realize that we need God to help us handle what we are facing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

When Caleb came back from spying out the\u00a0land,\u00a0he didn’t pretend\u00a0what he had seen was not bad. He saw it for what it\u00a0was. He knew there were giants in the land that they were told to possess, but\u00a0he\u00a0also knew\u00a0God and\u00a0His\u00a0Mightiness!<\/p>\n

He knew what they would be up against, but that they could\u00a0overcome it with\u00a0God’s help.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Turning a blind eye to what is happening around\u00a0us,\u00a0ignoring medical test\u00a0results, or life-threatening situations is not going to make things any less troublesome. It won’t bring peace.<\/p>\n

We have to face it, see it for what it is and then go after it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Numbers 13:30 (NKJV) Then Caleb quieted the people before Moses, and said, \u201cLet us go up at once and take possession, for we are well able to overcome it.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Acknowledging our battle\u00a0and asking God for help\u00a0will bring God’s peace, His\u00a0understanding\u00a0and anything else we need.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Peace be with us today.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
