My Peace Study...

I am overwhelmed with the peace that only comes from God today. Jody and I had a great walk and talk, praising and thanking God for the strength and encouragement we receive from the Word, and from the comments from all of you! Your sweet words fill us with wonder and joy in the Lord, and then it multiplies in praise to Christ from our lips. Thank you for loving us this way! (Jody took the pic of the bird bath - she fascinates me!)

Rom. 4:25 - 5:1-2 He who was delivered over because of our transgressions, and was raised because of our justification. Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom also we have obtained our introduction by faith into this grace in which we stand; and we exult in hope of the glory of God.

Phil. 4:6-8 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, dwell on these things.

Col. 3:14-16 Beyond all these things put on love, which is the perfect bond of unity. Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body; and be thankful. Let the word of Christ richly dwell within you, with all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with thankfulness in your hearts to God.
