Peace
The snow is beautiful. Have you ever noticed how quiet it is when it snows? It is serene. You can step outside and experience peacefulness.

This is because snow changes things. When it snows things close - businesses, schools, churches. When it snows there are not as many people out and about. When it snows we don’t hear the sounds of life like we normally do.

In a world where “busyness” is the norm a snow event gives us an opportunity to “Be still, and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth” (Psalm 46:10).

In Philippians 4:7 Paul encourages us with a powerful promise when he writes, “And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” God’s supernatural peace, which is beyond our ability to understand, will shield the believer's heart and mind. Shield our heart and mind against what? Against the things that so often bring stress and anxiety into our lives. The peace of God protects us from ourselves as we regularly worry about things we can do nothing about.

Immediately before Philippians 4:7, in 4:6, Paul writes, “do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.” So, when we replace stress and anxiety with prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, God’s peace protects against fear and doubt by providing us with emotional stability and mental clarity in Christ.

It takes total trust in God on our behalf to pray with thanksgiving about everything, but the promise of this verse is that if we do that we will put ourselves under the protection and care of the God of all comfort.

Yes, snow is beautiful. Yes, it is quiet when it snows. Yes, it is serene when it snows. Yes, you can step outside and experience peacefulness in the snow, but true, real, eternal, life-changing peace comes from God. The peace of God is one of the perfect gifts “…from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows"

During this time of “in between”, during the quiet and peacefulness the snow brings, I encourage you to be still and know that He is God. Take a little time to call, text, or email at least people 3 to tell them you are praying for them the promise of Philippians 4:7, that “…the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”

Pam and I love you and we pray and hope that we get to worship with you in person next Sunday!
