DON’T GIVE UP, PUT YOUR TRUST IN JESUS (3)
TIMES OF REFRESHING DAILY DEVOTIONAL www.thefountspring.org
DATE: FRIDAY, 23 AUGUST 2024
Trusting in Jesus brings peace beyond understanding; a deep abiding peace that the world cannot give. This peace will guard your heart and mind, even in the midst of trials and uncertainties. The promise of “peace beyond understanding” from Philippians 4:7 is a profound aspect of the Christian faith. This peace is described as surpassing all human understanding, which means it is not something that can be fully comprehended or explained through reason alone.
SCRIPTURE: “And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” — Philippians 4:7 (NIV)
REFRESHING FOR THE DAY: The peace that transcends understanding is not merely an emotional state but a profound aspect of spiritual life in Christ. It is a divine gift, a protective force, and a fruit of a lived relationship with God. This peace does not imply the absence of trouble but presents a unique kind of tranquility amidst it, rooted in the eternal assurances of God’s word and character. As believers continually trust in Jesus and lean on His understanding rather than their own, they experience this profound peace that the world cannot give and cannot take away. Stay Refreshed!
NOTE THIS: The peace that transcends understanding is not merely an emotional state but a profound aspect of spiritual life in Christ. It is a divine gift, a protective force, and a fruit of a lived relationship with God.
RESPONSIBILITY: So, beloved, continue to trust in Jesus always and never lean on your own understanding.
PRAYER: Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You today with hearts that seek Your peace—the peace that surpasses all understanding. In a world filled with turmoil and uncertainty, may Your peace guard our hearts and minds. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
PROPHETIC WORD: May the peace of Christ rule in our hearts, keeping us calm and steadfast, no matter the circumstances we face. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
