Philippians 4:6-7 - Peace Beyond Understanding.

Philippians 4:6-7: Peace Beyond Understanding.

Philippians 4:6-7 (NIV) Do not be anxious about anything, but in 
everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests 
to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, 
will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. 

Philippians 4:6-7 (JB) There is no need to worry; but if there 
is anything you need, pray for it, asking God for it with prayer 
and thanksgiving, 7 and that peace of God, which is so much greater 
than we can understand, will guard your hearts and your thoughts, in 
Christ Jesus. 

COMMENTARY PEARL

   Our dog, Flash, is cross between a Jack Russell terrier and a 
Chihuahua. He is cute and fast and loves to play. He loves it when you 
throw him the ball. He just has one problem. Once he brings the ball 
back to you, he won't let it go. You can tell he wants to give it to 
you as he nudges it toward you. But as soon as you try and pick it 
up, he snatches it and growls. Then he looks at you, as if to say, 
"Why aren't you playing with me?' 
   The dog has issues. So do I. That is probably why I like him 
so much. I am just like Flash, who worries over his toy, constantly 
moving it around, never taking his eyes off it. This is what I do with 
my problems. I cannot let them go. I keep thinking about them, 
feeling sick to my stomach. All the while, my eyes are on Jesus and I am 
saying, "Why aren't You doing anything about this? I keep bringing it to 
You.' I bring my problem to Him. But I forget to let it go. I forget 
to say, "I would like You to take care of this, so I am placing it 
in Your hands." 
   When we pray, we are "tossing the ball.' Laying our worries, 
our cares, our dreams at the feet of Jesus. But it is only when we 
have emptied our hearts and minds of our worries that He can fill us 
up with His overwhelming peace that passes all understanding. - 
Susanna Foth Aughtmon 
   Faith Step: Picture yourself throwing your "ball" of worries 
into the sky. Release them to Jesus's care and ask Him to fill you 
with His overwhelming peace. [Mornings With Jesus 2019 Devotional by 
Guideposts and Zondervan]
