A Peace You Can’t Explain
Paul writes in Philippians 4:6-7: Be anxious for nothing, but in everything
by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made
known to God; 7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding,
will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. That phrase, “the
peace of God, which surpasses all understanding” is such a beautiful
thought. It is the peace we all are looking for in this life. Our problem is
that we look for that peace in all the wrong places. We try so hard to find it
in the things of this world. However, this peace can only come from God.
A beautiful thing happens when we put God as number one in our lives.
We are then able to place the things in this life into proper perspective.
These earthly things no longer possess us. Now, we possess those things!
As a result, we enjoy them more than ever before because we now have
them in the proper perspective. Perhaps I can bring all of this together with a true story I heard many years
ago from an older preacher. He was a Christian man who lived in a small
Texas town at the turn of the 20th century. The locusts were swarming the
fields in the area surrounding this small town eating everything in sight.
This was before the days of pesticides, so the farmers burned fires around
the edges of their crops to try to keep the locusts away. Everyone walked
around with sadness upon their faces and gloom in their hearts because all
crops were being eaten by the locusts. However, this Christian man showed
no signs of sadness. He continued with his life as if nothing was happening!
One day, a fellow farmer asked the Christian man how he could walk around
with no worries while his crops were being consumed by the locusts. The
answer he gave has been a blessing to me through the years. This man of
God said, “A long time ago, I gave my God everything I had. I gave Him my
crops, my land, my equipment, my house, and my bank account. If my God
wants to take His grasshoppers and feed them on His land, that is His
business!” He was a man who had his God and his possessions in the
proper order in his life, a man who had, “the peace of God, which surpasses
all understanding.” Phillip

Last week the state department of education cancelled
school for the rest of the year due to the corona virus.
Many students, parents and teachers are disappointed.
Seniors in high school are especially saddened due to
missing out on so many memories.
Soon after the announcement I saw the lyrics to “His Eye
Is On The Sparrow” posted on Facebook.The lyrics made
me think of the comfort God gives us during this time.
The particular part of the song that I was inspired by is
where we sing, “I sing because I ’m happy”. We can be
happy even during difficult times! Much like the last two
weeks here are five things I think we can get out of this
song…
1. In times like these we really understand what Jesus meant in
Matthew 6:19-21 (store up heavenly treasures)
2. Jesus is our constant (Hebrews 13:8)
3. We can find happiness in Him in any situation (John 16:33,
James 1:23)
4. In Christ we are free from the things that hold us back from
TRUE JOY (Psalm 34:19)
5. He is here for me (Deuteronomy 31:6)
In Him, Todd
