We took the kids sledding at
this
High Mount
at the Music Center, it was fun:)
Yesterday was the first Snow
Fall of the Season.
I always love photographing the
First
beautiful
view
of snow break
in its
breathtakingly mundane simplicity
in
Purely white Covering,
Its Exhilarating and Renewing
In Philippians 4:7 we have a
wonderful promise:
“The peace of God,
which passes all
understanding,
will guard
your hearts and your minds
in Christ Jesus.”
This peace will
transcend
our
ability to understand it
There are other gifts of God that are not fully comprehensible to us.
The gift of salvation is “indescribable” (2 Corinthians 9:15). The complexity and wisdom of God’s plan is inscrutable (Isaiah 55:8–9). According to Ephesians 3:19, the love of Christ is something else so great we will never fully understand it. Likewise, human reasoning is incapable of fully comprehending the peace of God.
The believer who places his or her full confidence in a loving God and is thankful in every circumstance will possess a supernatural peace. An inner calm will dominate the heart. The faithful believer will know peace—his heart and mind are “guarded” by it—despite the tempest raging without.
No one, especially those
outside of Christ,
will be able to fathom
that peace.
To most, it will remain a mystery
how someone can
be so serene in the midst of turmoil.
The peace
that comes from being
in a right
relationship with God
is not the peace of
this world.
The world’s peace depends on having favorable circumstances: if things are going well, then we feel peaceful; when things go awry, the peace quickly dissipates. Jesus made the distinction between His peace and the world’s vacillating peace: “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives” (John 14:27).
God’s supernatural peace surpasses natural understanding.
