Knowing God - Philippians 4:7

(fp)

And the peace of God,

which transcends all our powers of thought,

will be a garrison to guard

your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus

Philippians 4:7

 

I like this old Weymouth translation of Philippians 4. And what an irony: To gain the peace, we need it to act like a military garrison to guard us!

 

Just seconds ago, I wrote the first sentence of this devotion when the phone rang. A member got chewed out, laughed at, and ridiculed at work for refusing to lie. This person needs God's supernatural peace to act as a military garrison around her integrity.

 

Peace can be your guard. Truth can be your guide. Integrity can be your power. And the Word of God can be your light.

 

What are you battling with for which you need reinforcements from God?

 

In Christ's Love,

a guy who wants to be part

of your military garrison
