Peace in His Presence

"And the peace of God which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."-Philippians 4verse7

This is a verse of scripture that has been my go to, each time life gets hectic or I'm feeling overwhelmed. Peace of God in any situation is so important, its one of the fruits of the spirit that we as children of God need to have as part of our everyday life. There are so many things we can derive from remaining in God's presence.

The peace and joy we experience when we are in constant fellowship with God can help us improve all aspects of our lives. I have found that that when I spend time either in worship or studying God's word I have this peace that helps me get through whatever I am going through. It also helps me to know God loves me regardless of who I am or what I've done.

The peace in God's presence is like no other, it brings fulfilment and assurance like no other when we wait on him to bring us that breakthrough or change certain things in our lives. I have also come to know in my walk with God that friends will bring temporary joy and happiness, but the joy and happiness God gives is everlasting and won't phase out because of the wrongs you did last week or the week before. God's peace cannot and will not run dry.

The peace in God's presence helps us see the good in others and it doesn’t make us feel like we are better than others. God see us all as His children in whatever shape or form and He has made us all unique in one way or another, in that when we come together, with all judgements aside we bring out the true love that helps others want to know Him more.

God's peace helps to overlook offences. I can tell you from experience how this has worked wonders in my life lately lol. Recently there were people around me that would just say things that clearly were so wrong and so annoying (annoying in the sense that they feel they are better than others and they think they're the only ones God speaks to), so I decided to let it go by asking for God's peace over the annoying situation. I can tell you I felt a lot lighter spiritually because the presence of Gods peace made me realize that I shouldn’t let it bother me because they are human and my spiritual health is vital to my physical health.

I am longing daily to be in God's presence so I can enjoy His peace and in turn live a healthy and meaningful life. Let us try daily to desire his presence so that we can enjoy his peace because it make a big difference when we do and things also work out for our good and purpose. Romans 8:28-NKJV " And we know that al things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose"
