Where peace begins

What everyone really wants is peace. They may not be able to articulate it, but they are in search of peace of mind, heart and soul. Paul wrote that this peace is found only in Christ. In fact he gives us the practical steps to achieve it: 1) don’t worry, 2) pray 3) ask God for what you need 4) be thankful. (Phil 4:6-7) If we follow theses steps an inexplicable peace will guard our hearts and minds. During this season we may not be able to bring about “peace on earth,” but perhaps we can cultivate an internal peace that will bless those around us.
