"And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds though Christ Jesus." Phillipians 4:7
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
When I think of peace many things come to mind. One in particular scene stands out more than the rest. When I lived in Oregon I had a three hanging baskets on my front porch. In the middle basket was a nest that a family of Oriels had made early that spring. One day we had some heavy thunderstorms and lightning and the wind kicked up something fierce. I thought to myself, I hope that basket doesn't blow off the hook....Well that basket swung back and forth in the wind in the midst of torrents of rain and thunder and lightning. That mother bird sat on the nest protecting her babies and shielding them as they swung and pitched back and forth in the the storm. Those baby birds hadn't a care for they were under the protecting arms of their mother.
Gods Love is like that towards His children. Whatever storm we are going through and whatever trial tries to frighten us and leave us tossed to and fro, He is there covering us with His protecting arms of Love. If God can take care of the birds, how much more will He take care of us and give us peace in the midst of the storms of life. All we need to do is Trust Him and cling to him and he will carry us through the tough times.
Whatever the situation or trial you are going through today, Jesus knows about it and wants to give you peace and hold you in His loving arms. He said, "Come unto me all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." Allow the Lord to give you His rest and peace today. He waits for you to ask.
