Our Scripture reading today is Philippians 4:6-7.
 
Verse 7, And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus."
 
Every individual needs two types of peace.  We need peace with God and we need the peace of God.  Peace with God can only come through His Son, Jesus Christ.  Romans 5:1, "Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with  God through our Lord Jesus Christ:" What a blessing it is to have this peace!
 
Today's verse is referring to the need that we all have for the peace of God.  Every day that we live is a day that only the peace of God carries us through.  It is what guards our hearts and minds.  “Shall keep them as in a strong place or a castle.” (Clarke)  This peace is also only possible through Jesus Christ.  The enemy is out to rob us of peace.  The Holy Spirit is on guard with the peace that is beyond our understanding.  
  
Wonderful Peace

1 Far away in the depths of my spirit tonight
Rolls a melody sweeter than psalm;
In celestial-like strains it unceasingly falls
O’er my soul like an infinite calm.

Refrain:
Peace, peace! wonderful peace,
Coming down from the Father above,
Sweep over my spirit forever, I pray,
In fathomless billows of love.

2 What a treasure I have in this wonderful peace
Buried deep in the heart of my soul,
So secure that no power can mine it away
While the years of eternity roll. [Refrain]

3 I am resting tonight in this wonderful peace,
Resting sweetly in Jesus’ control,
For I’m kept from all danger by night and by day,
And His glory is flooding my soul. [Refrain]

4 And me thinks when I rise to that city of peace
Where the Author of peace I shall see,
That one strain of the song which the ransomed will sing
In that heavenly kingdom shall be: [Refrain]

5 Ah! soul, are you here without comfort and rest,
Marching down the rough pathway of time?
Make Jesus your friend ere the shadows grow dark
O accept this sweet peace so sublime! [Refrain]
