Philippians 4:7 The Peace of God

The Bible consists of 66 individual books.  There are 39 books in the Old Testament and 27 Books in the New Testament.  The book of Philippians is one of my favorites.  In it I see the character of God in Christ.  He tells us to be thankful, joyful, content, and peaceful as we walk our journey with Him.  He gives me an internal joy and peace even when the circumstances of my external life are anything but peaceful.  This peace which God speaks about, and I experience, can only come from God.  God’s peace is supernatural.  It cannot be humanly explained or understood.  Philippians 4:7 says that the peace of God transcends or “passes all understanding”.  This peace “will guard our hearts and minds as we live in Christ Jesus”.  God has promised that He, the “God of peace” will be with me when I put into practice what I learn in His Word.
