The Peace That Guards You

Do you feel a lack of peace? Jesus promised His followers a peace the world can't give — but it doesn't always fill the room. In this episode, Blake opens Philippians 4:6-8 to show how we learn to receive the peace God has already offered.Paul's counsel comes in two moves: don't be anxious — pray, bringing everything to God with thanksgiving, and His peace will stand guard over your heart and mind; then fill that mind with what's true, noble, just, pure, and lovely (verse 8). It's not positive thinking or self-help — it's handing our worry to God and giving our minds something better to hold, while He does the guarding He promised.Follow Before the Lord on Facebook (@BeforeTheLord) and Instagram (@beforethelorddevo).
