Devotion Philippians 4:7 Let It Go, Stay In Peace, Honor God

Philippians 4:7  And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

We all know that to become more peaceful, we must give and not keep.  (1 Peter 5:7)  We must give our worries to God who has all the answers and not hold onto them because we don’t have all the answers (Matthew 11:28, Isaiah 46:9-10, Proverbs 19:21).  And to have peace with others, be humble. (Philippians 2:3-11, Ephesians 4:2-3)  Be quick to forgive.  Love each other.  (Colossians 3:12-14, Psalm 145:8)  Don’t demand your “rights.”  (1 Corinthians 8:9-13, 1 Corinthians 6:7-8)  Don’t expect others to not pass boundaries, Jesus told us they would. (Matthew 6:14)    Freely forgive because we have freely been forgiven.  (Colossians 3:13, Ephesians 4:32)  Don’t stay angry, let it go, move on.  (Psalm 37:8, Ephesians 4:26)  Holding onto anger, justified or not, keeps peace away.  Answer those who speak provoking words with soft words of love.  (Proverbs 15:1)  When we overlook offences we are like our Lord, which is or goal.  Let’s, as best we can, live in peace.  (Romans 12:18)  We live in peace for the sake of the peace from Him that is within us and also, and most importantly, to glorify our Lord.  To glorify the Lord is our high calling.  In that, we are blessed.  Praise God!
