Third Sunday Meditation: A Real And Lasting Peace





"Delight yourself also in the Lord, and He
will give you the desires and secret petitions of your heart."
Psalm 37:4



Tall Grass Prairie Preserve

"Rejoice in the Lord always, delight, gladden 
yourselves in Him; again I say, Rejoice!

Let all men know and perceive and recognize your
unselfishness, your considerateness, your forbearing spirit.
The Lord is near, He is coming soon.

Do not fret or have any anxiety about anything, but,
in every circumstance and in everything, by prayer and petition,
(definite requests), with thanksgiving, continue to make
your wants known to God.

And God's peace shall be yours, that tranquil state of the soul
assured of its salvation through Christ, and so fearing nothing from God
and being content with its earthly lot of whatever sort that is, that peace
which transcends all understanding shall garrison and mount guard over
your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.

For the rest, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is worthy of reverence
and is honorable and seemly, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever
is lovely and lovable, whatever is kind and winsome and gracious,
if there is any virtue and excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise,
think on and weigh and take account of these things, fix your minds on them.

Practice what you have learned and received and heard and seen in me,
and model your way of living on it, and the God of peace, of untroubled,
undisturbed well-being will be with you."
Philippians 4:4-9
