“Greater peace of mind“

That’s how a medical alarm is advertised in the July/August issue of the magazine “Family Health Diary.” One person I know very well and that person has a medical alarm. The medical alarm provides peace of mind not only for that person but also for the whole family of that person.

For me peace of mind is very important. I think for you too. That’s why we are reading about peace of mind quite a bit actually all over the place.

Now I am wondering how many people have read about peace of mind in the Bible. In the Bible we read about the greatest peace of mind. In Philippians 4:7 the Bible, the Word of the Living God, says, “And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”

The peace of God will not only guard our minds, but also our hearts. And the peace of God transcends all our understanding.

When does all that happen to us?

I think it will happen to us when we are doing what the Bible says:

— Rejoice in the Lord always. (That seems to be very difficult for all of us. That’s why the apostle Paul repeats it in the same verse.)

— Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near.

— Do not be anxious about anything,

— but in everything,

-by prayer and

-petition, with

-thanksgiving,

present your requests to God.

Philippians 4:4-6
