The Peace of God

 And the peace of God, 

which passeth all understanding, 

shall keep your hearts and minds 

through Christ Jesus.

— Philippians 4:7 (KJV)

The word "keep" means: to mount guard, to protect.

The peace of God will mount guard and protect your heart and mind.  If you let Him.  

His Word instructs to cast ALL our care upon Him (1 Peter 5:7)  When you cast something you are throwing it as hard and as far away from yourself as you possibly can. Too many times we want Jesus to fix it while we continue to hold tightly to it and worry over it. 

God wants you to CAST all that you are worrying  and fretting and stressing over upon Him.  As you do, the peace that He gives in return will be a peace beyond the understanding of human comprehension.  


Jesus left us with these comforting words...

Peace I leave with you, 

My peace I give unto you: 

not as the world giveth, give I unto you. 

Let not your heart be troubled, 

neither let it be afraid.

— John 14:27
