Today’s Encouragement is Philippians 4:6-7 NLT Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. [7] Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.
Exceeds anything we can understand-
(I pray you aren’t growing tired of this amazing passage, tomorrow will be the last day. This repetition is helpful to memorize, or just remember God’s Truths.)
Other translations read the peace which- ‘is beyond our understanding’, ‘passes all understanding’, ‘surpasses understanding’, and ‘transcends all understanding.’
God’s Peace doesn’t make sense, given the circumstances! Those who don’t know Him will think we are crazy to be at Peace in this situation, it doesn’t make any logical sense in this predicament! Because it is not our circumstances which provide our Peace… rather it is Him!
Because we have prayed about everything, given God our needs, in thankfulness and gratitude to Him, and have chosen Faith over worry, —- then His Peace comes… a Peace which isn’t logical in this situation.
(God is not limited by man’s determination of what is logical or not. Who decided that God must meet our definition of logical?)
Thank You Father God, that You, and Your Peace are far greater than anything we in our limited human capacity can understand. Help us believe, trust, and seek Your Peace.
It passes all my understanding
