The peace of God is one of our most significant spiritual blessings. Lacking God’s peace is one of our most crucial spiritual warnings. Why is that?

Paul told the Philippian church that the peace of God “surpasses all understanding.” God’s peace is unique and it is a gift. We don’t work for God’s peace; we ask for it. God’s peace isn’t found; it is received. 

God’s peace is given for a reason. According to Paul, it will “guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” God’s peace connects our minds to the mind of Christ. His peace guards our hearts with the priorities and passions of Jesus. 

We will sense God’s peace regardless of our circumstances. We can know and accept God’s will even when it is not our own. God’s peace surpasses human understanding because it is a miraculous consequence of walking in the wisdom of God.

Wisdom will lead you in the direction of God’s immeasurable, unsurpassed peace. The peace of God is one of our greatest blessings, and lacking that peace is one of our most important warnings. 

God’s peace stands guard over our hearts and minds. Living with wisdom is a path to God’s blessings. One of his most significant blessings is the peace that surpasses all understanding. Does his peace surround you right now? That answer will direct your next steps along or toward God’s path of blessing.
