In these unsettling times that we are experiencing in our great nation and in the world as a whole, let us lay hold of Philippians 4:6-7 and come to that perfect rest in Christ Jesus.
"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving present your requests to God.
And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus."

For we see in Psalm 55:22,
"Cast your burden upon the Lord, and He will sustain you; He will never allow the righteous to be shaken."
And 1 Peter 5:6-7 tells us,
"Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God...casting all your anxiety upon Him, because He cares for you."

It is Jesus who said,
"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.
Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls." Matthew 11:28-29

This is a spiritual rest and it is appropriated by faith:
"Now we who have believed enter that rest..." Hebrews 4:3 (Read Vs. 1-13 for the word to those who enter and those who do not.)

In this rest we find that this peace transcends all understanding!
We see this promise of peace is:
The gift of God:
"The Lord gives strength to His people; the Lord blesses His people with peace." Psalm 29:11

It is abundant:
"Great peace have they who love Your law, and nothing can make them  stumble." Psalm 119:165

It is perfect:
"You will keep in perfect peace him whose mind is steadfast, because he trusts in You." Isaiah 26:3

It is the legacy of Christ:
"Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you; not as the world gives, do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, nor let it be fearful."
John 14:27
And,
"These things I have spoken to you, that IN ME you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome the world."
John 16:33 (My emphasis)

The 'these things" Jesus refers to here are the things that he has been sharing with His disciples in His farewell discourse, see Chapters 14, 15 and 16.

And as our opening Scripture tells us, this peace of Christ passes all understanding.

Laying hold of these things, let us take heart and joyously, "...run with endurance the race that is set before us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith..." Hebrews 1-2

Remembering always,
"We know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose." Romans 8:28

Thank you Lord for providing for all our needs and giving us perfect peace as we rest in You. Amen
