"THE GOD OF PEACE!"

Philippians 4:7-9                (1599 Geneva Bible)
"7 And the peace of GOD which passeth all understanding, shall preserve your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.
8 Furthermore, brethren, whatsoever things are TRUE, whatsoever things are HONEST, whatsoever things are JUST, whatsoever things are PURE, whatsoever things are worthy LOVE, whatsoever things are of GOOD REPORT, if there be any virtue, or if there be any praise, think on these things.
9 Which ye have both learned and received, and heard, and seen in me: those things do, and the GOD of peace shall be with you."


Have you ever had one of those mornings when the gears of your mind just don't seem to align correctly?  You start thinking a negative thought (placed there by the enemy) and your mind blossoms that into a full blown crisis..........before you ever leave your house.  Where does the evil thoughts come from?  You must realize the originator of these thoughts to understand what he is trying to accomplish.  1 Peter 5:8 says "BE SOBER, and WATCH: for your adversary the devil as a roaring lion walketh about, seeking whom he may DEVOUR."

Harvesting a desirable crop goes back to reaping what we plant!  Scripture even tells us what seeds we need to plant.  Seeds of TRUTH, HONESTY, things that are JUST, things worthy of LOVE, and things that are of GOOD REPORT.  I cannot find where the Bible says for us to worry about next months bills.  If ones sews seeds of worry and doubt, the harvest is sure to come.

The six characteristics listed above have a harvest also.  Verse 9 says "and the GOD OF PEACE shall be with you"!  "THE GOD OF PEACE" can get you through financial troubles, car troubles, health issues, marital problems.......whatever trials that may present itself to you.  I pray my life exemplifies the joy that comes from knowing "THE GOD OF PEACE!"
