Peace Beyond Our Understanding

/ pastorpete51 / Leave a comment 
 And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, 
will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. 
Philippians 4:7 NKJV

Part of the joy as well as the sadness of nursing home ministry is walking with dear friends along their path of faith but then having to say goodbye when they reach the end. This past week our friend Don walked out of his room at Gulfcoast Hospice and into the presence of Jesus. The amazing legacy of his faith is a treasure indeed and the peace that Don showed to the very end was an inspiration. I hope you will be encouraged, rather than saddened by my short testimony and that this old song, “Peace Like a River” will lighten your load and brighten your path.

By the Peace That Christ Supplies

 Peace beyond my understanding
And the things I do not know
His peace now guards my mind and heart
When I glimpse Heaven from here below

At Nazareth it came to Mary
To Bethlehem’s shepherds while asleep
And at the cross to thieves and soldiers
A peace that only Heaven keeps

And here in unexpected moments
When thunder and the lightning flies
Our Great Father shows His mercy
By the peace that Christ supplies


And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, 
will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:7 ESV

I Looked all Through the Forests Deep

I looked all through the forests deep
Over hills through rushing streams
Until sunset I searched on
For peace I’d glimpsed in dreams

Till in complete exhaustion
I sat down to catch my breath
Just then I heard the gentle voice
Of Christ calling me to rest

And when I turned to look at Him
He showed His hands with wounds
And invited me to touch those scars
Where nails had pierced Him through

Then in worship I fell down
For suddenly I knew
That His peace for which I’d searched
 He would give me all night through

Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. 
Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.
John 14:27 NIV
