Astonishing Peace

Looking out over the passing scenes of our end times world can be heart-wrenching for those of us who study the Bible.

After the events of October 7, 2023 in Israel, tears are often in our thoughts. I'm reminded of how Jesus wept over Jerusalem, knowing what was and is to come.

Many of us have experienced difficulties too painful to even think about too much. The world is filled with evil beyond our comprehension. Even so, those who trust in Jesus reside in His peace. We know our Heavenly Father is all-powerful and all-knowing. Righteousness and justice will ultimately prevail.

Permanent peace is something humanity craves but will never have under human rule. We who have Christ on the throne have His peace wrapped around our hearts and minds, cushioning us from the deluge of the enemy. It's a miracle, an astonishing miracle, and one for which I'm increasingly thankful with each passing day.

"And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding,

shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus."

Philippians 4:7 KJV
