“And the peace of God,
which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through
Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 4:7 KJV)
Matthew Henry wrote; “This peace will keep
our hearts and minds through Christ Jesus; it will keep us from sinning
under our troubles, and from sinking under them; keep us calm and sedate,
without discomposure of passion, and with inward satisfaction. Thou wilt
keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on thee, Isa. 26:3.” (The
Bible Collection, Matthew Henry)
“It’s easy to focus on your devotions rather than
the object of your devotions. Do your best to focus on God rather than the
discipline of daily devotions.”
“There’s a reason God wants us to devote ourselves
to prayer-it works. When you pray earnestly, God promises to answer in ways
that will amaze you.”
“Much of what happens in life, whether insignificant
or catastrophic, is beyond your control. Instead of being infuriated by your
own inability to alter events, be thankful that God is all-powerful and has
control over all things.” (God is in The Small Stuff” Bruce & Stan)
