beyond peace

Philippians 4:6&7
"6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus."

Jesus gives us His PEACE. 
From the Prince of PEACE, a priceless gift. 
Jesus also gives us the Advocate in the person of the Holy Ghost. 
Jesus taught His Disciples many things and they wrote them down so future generations could know and believe! 
We need to worship our good and gracious God every chance we get. Praying without ceasing, studying the Holy Bible, reading Biblical commentaries, and listening to sound biblical teachers and leaders.

Today's verses are some of the Apostle Paul's outstanding advice;
"Be careful for nothing;" or, don't be anxious. 
"but in every thing by prayer and supplication" that is asking or begging for something with intense conviction, sincerity and humility. 
"with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God." We need to be very thankful to GOD for litrally everything. The good, the bad and all else.

"And the PEACE of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus." We have tried to learn more about GOD'S PEACE. But, is surpasses all human understanding. It is beyond what we can imagine or conceive. Whatever the highest and noblest expression of PEACE we can think of is, GOD'S is beyond that! Nothing else can compare to what we receive as a gift from our FAITH in Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior!

I will make you

Matthew 4:19&20 "19 And He saith unto them, Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men. 20 And they straightway left their nets, and followed Him." In our "Follow Me" series, we study Jesus calling His disciples in the Gospel of Matthew. By the Sea of Galilee, a thriving fishing hub, Jesus saw Simon and Andrew casting nets as humble fishermen. His disciples were ordinary workers, not wealthy or educated elites. Jesus approached them and said, "Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men." Remarkably, they immediately left their jobs to follow Him. This brief exchange conveys a profound truth: Jesus says, "I will make you." Only God can transform us to accomplish His purpose. We should often pray, "Help me, God," seeking Jesus' guidance to follow His plan for our lives.

God’s patience

2 Peter 3:9 "The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance." God did not immediately punish King Solomon when he allowed his foreign wives to build altars for false gods. Despite multiple compromises, God remained patient. Over time, Solomon’s endorsement of idolatry defied God’s covenant, leading to divine judgment, including the loss of the kingdom for his son. Some mistake God’s patience for indifference or inaction, but He follows His plan in His timing. If our nation, culture, church, or we ourselves stray like Solomon, we can repent and return to God’s path. And, should do so sooner than later! Amen!

Romans 6:3&4 "3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into His death? 4 Therefore we are buried with Him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life." In our studies we are striving to understand God’s love and care. God's unconditional love for His followers, appreciating that we are part of GOD’S family! God is with us from cradle to grave. His divine presence is always giving us purpose and guidance. One of the most important milestones in the life of a Christian is baptism. When we are baptized, an indelible mark is made on our soul. This mark signifies a permanent transformation and dedication of the individual to God. The act of Baptism involves water and the invocation of the Holy Trinity. This ritual is seen as a symbolic washing away of original sin and a new birth into the life of Christ. Baptism is a foundational s...
