A lot of people in the world today are searching for peace. Many seek it in work, others in family others in alchohol and other destructive lifestyles. But what is peace? When we call on peace what do we really mean? Can we have peace in the midst of injustice? Can we have peace without resolving our conflicts? Can we have peace without rights?
The peace of God is not conditional to things being okay in our lives but is a state of being regardless of the circumstances. It ensures us a sound mind when we would be anxious and distressed under normal circumstances. Paul in his epistle to the Philippians says “Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God , which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus”. Philippians 4:6-7. Read more of this blog at http://relijournal.com/religion/the-peace-of-god/
