Trusting in the Word of God also allows you to experience His wonderful peace. The world around us cannot understand how they can go through the same thing you are going through yet you have this peace that calms you and allows you to move through the situation with well rested nights and encouragement to others. That peace stems from trusting in a source greater than yourself while the person of the world knows that they cannot see how to get through today. That is the testimony in the earth that God uses to draw others to Him. The world wants what we have, if we are truly showing the world what we have. We laid down our lives which included trusting in our abilities and ways of dealing with life and all the many trails. Now we rest in Christ Jesus and His completed work on the cross. If you are going through today and you are not experiencing God’s peace, are you trusting His word??? Are you allowing others to see that peace walked out with Thanksgiving and Humility. Remember we all have a beautiful life that is to be lived out before men to help bring them into a relationship with our Father, but that can only happen if we are experiencing our Father’s Joy and Peace each day by fellowshipping and trusting in Him and His marvelous word, rightly divided!!! Have a wonderful life of trusting on purpose!!!!!
Philippians 4
1Therefore, my brothers, you whom I love and long for, my joy and crown, that is how you should stand firm in the Lord, dear friends!
Exhortations
2I plead with Euodia and I plead with Syntyche to agree with each other in the Lord. 3Yes, and I ask you, loyal yokefellow,[a] help these women who have contended at my side in the cause of the gospel, along with Clement and the rest of my fellow workers, whose names are in the book of life.
4Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! 5Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. 6Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
8Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. 9Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.
