Peace of mind that surpasses everything
by
One of my friends called me and said he was losing his mind and thought that his life was over. I told him to say ” I have the peace that passes all understanding”. His response was, what does that mean? This was funny to me because I made an assumption that all Christians knew the meaning of this statement. So after a few seconds of silence I had to admit that I knew the peace part but, I had to search to give full meaning to the statement. Here is what I discovered. This is a bible verse that has some contingencies however, they are easy to follow.
Philippians 4 verses 6-7
6. Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. 7. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
You must do 3 things to receive this peace.
1. Have no care or cast all your care on God
2. Pray and give thanks to God
3. Make your request known to God
These actions will give you peace that others around you can’t understand. Peace that stops you from screaming. Peace that keeps your heart rate normal in chaotic situations. Peace that gives you a stable mind so that you will not lose your mind ” Up in Here”. So the next time you think you are going to “Lose It” say three times.
I have the peace that passes all understanding.
Leave a comment about how peace has kept you in trying situations.
Answered Questions
by
In the times we find ourselves in most people are questioning God, ourselves and our motives. Some are even questioning their existence. As to why I am here? How did I get myself into this mess? These questions are valid and would help anyone who received answers to them. It would also help their spheres of influence. There are some unexplainable events. People pass unexpectedly, jobs layoff, disappointing relationships, blah,blah,blah. All of these go into the category of secret things. If you can’t control or influence the outcome then leave them for God to handle. The other parts of life which are revealed to us, we are obligated to investigate. By investigate I mean study what was revealed to you. Allow me to digress a little. Most will say that “revealed stuff” is for someone with more time on their hands. Or for a person who has dedicated themselves to hearing God, a preacher or priest or more spiritual individual. I beg to differ. Everyone is lead or has had something revealed to them. Some unexplainable truth or direction that cannot be purged from their being. This thing, idea, feeling that keeps you motivated or keeps nagging you until you fully address it. So now as you take a moment to re……….discover. I said re-discover what this revelation is for you. You can begin to take the steps to make it happen. My revealed thing is that I am an Inspirationalist, Writer and Thinker. This I must do with all of my might. May you be encouraged to…
Walking on Rose Petals
by
I wrote this post a while back but it seems fitting for this occasion. Today is a beautiful site here in Alabama, the sky is the perfect shade of blue and there is a smattering of powder clouds wafting across the heavens. The cool undulating breeze announces Fall but recognizes Spring and Summer desiring to capture the moment. My wife suggests we sit outside, I tell her that I must blow the leaves first. She says, “That’s the problem with the world. We always want rose petals to walk on and God provides them for us on a daily basis.”
Well, I first thought,” why is she talking about rose petals when I am talking about leaves, doesn’t she know her rose bushes are in the front and we are planning to relax in the back?” The roses that are in the front of the house are red, yellow, pink and white and for weeks on end there is a fresh path daily to walk upon due to the different seasons that they bloom. So for awhile I focused on the rest of the beauty that is on earth and how it continues to produce and perform tricks for all to enjoy. Amazing feats are displayed like flickering ever visible stars to allowing a moon that can light the entire night sky without disturbing a soul.
In life as with our environment we think that leaves and petals are problems that must be blown away but, if we will stop and enjoy them we can understand that there are blessings from Heaven that surrounds us. High grass crunches in Fall beneath your feet, pine needles, pine cones, acorns, pecans, walnuts and muscadines all emerge for the pleasure of the person who stops and enjoys the moment. So the next time you feel no one understands you or ever does anything nice for you, go outside and take in the majesty laid out for you. And if you walk near arose garden then maybe, just maybe God will throw a few rose petals under you feet.
PS. Even the rain clears away impurities!
