Chasing Peace

Most of the time in our lives, peace seems to be this slippery concept we can never quite get the right grip on. War, rising prices, and uncertain futures are working right now to disrupt our peace. Even our vacations aren’t 100% peaceful with missed flights, wrong hotel rooms, rude people, and unmet expectations. We just live in a broken world where humans cannot create a lasting peace. Yet God provides peace to us believers amid turmoil. Philippians 4:7 says, “And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” He gives us a taste of the peace to come. It’s a way for us to be a beacon of peace while the world is crashing around us, so others can be drawn to Him. We’re praying God provides his peace to guard your heart and mind through whatever you are dealing with at the moment.
