Philippians 4:7 And the
peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your
hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
This conjunctive sentence comes right after
yesterday’s verse 6. Go back and read
it.
After we have prayed an effective prayer, and
rejoiced in everything, and kept ourselves gentle in spirit and mind by giving
thanks to God…then comes the answer to all of our prayers.
Peace.
It’s not real peace when we slide up and down
the emotional scale of a high note when life is good, and the low minor notes
when life is bad. It’s a beautiful
melody of notes that blend together in a sound that transcends all other music
– it rises above all understanding.
Why? Because only that kind of peace, the kind
that comes on the heels of obeying verses 1-6, will guard our hearts and minds.
From what?
From becoming hardened in our hearts, instead of
tender towards the Lord.
