Let's put a stop to the lawlessness, disorder, discord, and anarchy that runs rampant in our souls, we can do it too. Let's strive for the peace of God. Listen to the way peace is described; "And God's peace [shall be yours, that tranquil state of a soul assured of its salvation through Christ, and so fearing nothing from God and being content with its earthly lot of whatever sort that is, that peace] which transcends all understanding shall garrison and mount guard over your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus." (Phil. 4:7) That is the peace that God gives right in the midst of the battle. The kind of peace, that transcends [over the top; rises above; to surpass; be superior; go beyond] all of our understanding. We must seek this kind of "over the top and superior peace." God is not the author of confusion, chaos, or disorder, but He is the God of over the top and surpassing peace. We can always have it by practicing keeping and fixing our mind, our emotions, appetites, and our will on the God of peace. You can have it on your job, at home, at church, in your relationships, and in all kinds of trouble. "You will guard him and keep him in perfect and constant peace whose mind [both its inclination and its character] is stayed on You, because he commits himself to You, leans on You, and hopes confidently in You." (Isa. 26:3) Our soul, mind, will, emotions, and appetites, can always be in a superior state of peace, even in the midst of the battle, but it can only be accomplished by keeping our mind on Him, and then He guards our mind. In peace we can truly hear Him, regardless of the battles. Keep crying out to Him, evening, morning, and noon, let your voice be heard!
