"And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things."
Philippians 4:7-8
Reading this today, I am wondering if part of the peace of God comes when we follow the instructions in the following verse. Finding and seeing the good in the world is sometimes challenging, especially when we are used to focusing on the negative, but I also think that it lifts a lot of stress and mental exhaustion off of our shoulders, which helps to bring us peace.
Today, let's look to God and do things his way, so that we can participate in his peace. And as part of that, let's try to focus on the good things around us and making things better.
