Hey, good morning, everyone. Welcome to another morning devotion with Brother Mark, where we are walking together on our walk with Christ. Today is May the 27th, 2024. Happy birthday to me. Happy birthday to me. 59 years old today, 36th wedding anniversary. 59, it's getting close to 60. That's starting to sound old. But anyway, here we are. Good to be with you on this morning devotion. And I think it was Athanasius who said, our hearts are restless until we find our rest in thee. And I want to talk about today, Philippians 4.7, I know it's a passage of scripture that is familiar to us. And the peace of God, which passes all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. So yesterday I was talking about, in my sermon, I was talking about promises of God that sustain us during times of chaos. And I brought out a point, what will it look like when you trust in God? And so I want you to think about that. You're trusting in God, and that passage of scripture says, and the peace of God, which passes all understanding, shall keep our hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. We face circumstances in life, and our life is sometimes restless. We're anxious. We want God to act now. It's difficult for us to be patient and wait. We know the promises of God that He's going to work all things together for good to them that love God. We don't really understand in the moment how God is working that out for our good. And because of that, we have a restless heart. And like Athanasius said, our hearts are restless until we find our rest in God. And so today I just want to encourage you to find peace in the Lord, to find peace in God's wisdom, to find peace in God's love for you, to find peace in God's providence, to find peace, to find rest in God through Christ Jesus. It's because we are in Christ Jesus that we can find that rest. I mean, you think about it. What do we know if we're in Christ Jesus? We know that God loved us. We know that he called us in Christ Jesus before the world began. And so, we're one that he has chosen before the foundation of the world. He's working in us both to willing to do of his good pleasure. And so there should be no doubt that God is for us and if God be for us, who can be against us? And I know I'm throwing together lots of scriptures today, but I just want you to find peace today. So what does it look like when you are trusting in God? The first thing it's going to look like is that you have peace. You're going to find peace in him. You're going to find rest in him. It doesn't mean you're going to find the answer. That doesn't mean that you won't have some anxiousness, but you're just going to rest in God. You're just going to run to Him and rest. You're going to find peace in Him. When you find that peace, pass all understanding. It passes all understanding because people don't understand how you can have peace. So the first thing, what does it look like when you're trusting in God? The first thing it's going to look like when you're trusting in God is that you find peace. You find peace in your heart. You're going to act in peace. Folks are going to notice your peace. So you have peace. Let's pray. Today, God, I pray for your people and I pray that you would give them peace. I pray, Lord, that their restless hearts would find their rest in you, that they can trust in your love for them, that they can trust in your providence at work in their lives, and they can trust that, Lord, you're working things together for their good. So we thank you for these promises today, and I pray, Lord, that today you would give rest, that you would give peace to your people. In the name of Jesus, we pray. Amen. Enjoy the holiday. Eat a piece of birthday cake for me. Until the next time, Brother Mark signing off.
