Have you heard the analogy of being a thermostat vs thermometer?
A thermostat controls the temperature (or mood) in the home/building/car.
A thermometer's temperature (or mood) changes according to what's going on with the weather.
Don't be affected by what's going on around you.
It's not healthy or beneficial to you to be up & down, down & up.
Instead keep your eyes on Jesus. So no matter who is entering or leaving, no matter what is going on outside, you are still the same positive, determined, resilient, confident you! A peace that is unexplainable, protecting your heart and mind from harm's way.
That's the God we serve!
Experience God's peace!
Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:7 NLT
