Inner Peace

Uncategorized 1 Minute
“And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:7).

I once watched an animated movie called Kung fu Panda with a Panda who was a skilled martial artist. When Panda was a baby, his parents were killed by a peacock who’s desire was to take over China. The Peacock was told that he would one day be defeated by a Panda. Panda’s struggle was to find inner peace in order to fulfill his destiny and defeat the Peacock. In the end Panda learnt how to control his anger and found inner peace. Once Panda found inner peace, no weapon thrown at him by the enemy could take him out. Panda found peace and fulfilled the prophecy of defeating the Peacock.

Like Panda, we need the peace of God to block the attacks from the enemy and to fulfill our purpose. Jesus promised his disciples that we would have peace, not in and of this world, but a peace which comes from God. He encouraged us not to let our hearts be troubled or afraid (John 14:27).
The nightly news can cause us so much fear. There is so much happening around us to rob us of our inner peace and joy. We have to limit how much of the bad news we take in and remain in tuned with the good news of the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Jesus taught his disciples of troubled times to come in this world and his teachings are to help us find peace in him. “I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world” (John‬ ‭16:33‬).

We will not find peace in our bank account, in the government or scientists, in our jobs or earthly possessions because material things can be taken away. But the peace which God gives cannot be taken away by the challenges around us. Peace be unto you.

“You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you”
‭‭(Isaiah‬ ‭26:3‬).

  4. This is powerful my sister.
    I was actually going through a situation that needed that peace from God and this helped me a lot.
    I am.not off the woods completely but I am so blessed by this one.

    God promised peace not like the world gives but His peace surpasses all understanding.

    1. Amen 🙏🏾. I believe that we are in a season of breakthrough. The enemy has been trying everything to keep us distracted. We will move forward and possess our possession. God is our peace

  6. I love the Hebrew meaning for the word peace. It has a lot of meaning. Look it up in the Concordance if you haven’t lately. I keep a copy in My Bible. It is a real important word for us. We need reminding. Good Word!
