Philippians 4:7

"...the Peace of God, which passeth all understanding..."


The peace that comes from Christ being revealed in the heart never goes away. Though this flesh we are in remains what it always was and always will be: our adversary, yet, there's a calmness of the awakened soul that never goes away. Peace may fade when our eyes are on the world, but He never leaves you.


Our lives and the things of this world are the storm of sin that swirls around the soul constantly, sometimes with great force, but Jesus is like the eye of that storm, always there, and the closer we come to Him, the calmer we get. Jesus is the calm before the storm and the calm within the storm, the sinless center for His children.


When the Spirit wakes us up to how sinful we are is when the storm begins, but then comes the Calm, Christ Jesus Who saved us, our Robe of Righteousness, "I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for He hath clothed me with the Garments of Salvation, He hath covered me with the Robe of Righteousness." (Isaiah 61:10)


There's a feeling of calm in the soul that the words of men can't explain, a feeling of well-being and though it may fade, it never leaves once planted. No one can take it from you, try as they may. It's miraculous what the Word of God in the heart does to a sinner saved by Grace, "He maketh the storm a calm..." (Psalm 107:29)
