We've learned that real peace doesn't mean the absence of turmoil in our lives; but the presence of God even in our storms. He can calm us in times of trials, and we need not be anxious or panic when trouble comes. The Word of God is full of promises that assure us He is able to guide us through the toughest times. But we must believe it; we must trust Him - and that can only come from KNOWING Him. Couples, unified in the belief and practice of keeping God first in their lives, seeking His face daily, will surely know this peace. It's the kind of thing that makes others scratch their heads in amazement - because when God is at the center, conventional wisdom and common sense don't hold up. A sanctified relationship will bear all signs of God's favor, especially when the road is rough. This is a testimony of God's power, and men and women of God are witnesses to everyone of the enduring, steadfast love of our Heavenly Father.
He's the Creator, and He wants us to know Him intimately. In a world where there is no peace, that is soon to pass away, we can take hold of everlasting, incomprehensible peace and contentment right now!
Philippians 4:6-7 (The Living Bible)
"Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything; tell God your needs, and don’t forget to thank Him for His answers.
If you do this, you will experience God’s peace, which is far more wonderful than the human mind can understand. His peace will keep your thoughts and your hearts quiet and at rest as you trust in Christ Jesus."
Isaiah 26:3 (New International Version)
"You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in You."
