"The Peace That Passes All Understanding"

Day #149 - 'A Woman of Faith' Devotional
Verse: "Peace, peace to you, and peace to Him who helps you, for your God helps you." 1 Chronicles 12:18 HCSB

A peace that passes all understanding... a peace that comes amidst a storm. Jesus can offer us that peace. It's not just the happiness and flight peace that the world offers but a true rich peace that comes from inside of us through the power of God, through His Son and Holy Spirit. When all around us is in turmoil or terror, war or raging battles we can remain at peace because of our trust in the Lord.

Did you know that PEACE is one of the Fruit of the Spirit found in Galatians 5:22-23. "But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against these things!" (NLT) Peace is a gift given freely by God, but of course being a gift we have to accept it, open it, and utilize it! It is our birthright!

What can we do with this PEACE we have been given? If we accept it & live out our lives with it, others will see and observe us, and they will want it too... and we can show them how to receive it through Jesus. We can share the peace that we have (same as the other gifts we receive from the Father). If we set our minds on things above, and not on earthly things (Colossians 3:1-4 "If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God. Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth. For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ who is our life appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory.")
