The Peace That Surpasses All Understanding

Philippians 4 is one of my favorite passages in Scripture. Here's why:

Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, Rejoice. Let your reasonableness be known to everyone. The Lord is at hand; do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. What you have learned and received and heard and seen in me—practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you . . . Not that I am speaking of being in need, for I have learned in whatever situation I am to be content. I know how to be brought low, and I know how to abound. In any and every circumstance, I have learned the secret of facing plenty and hunger, abundance and need.I can do all things through him who strengthens me . . . And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus. To our God and Father be glory forever and ever. Amen. ~ Philippians 4:4-9,11-13, 19-20

 I love every aspect of this passage, especially verses 4-7 and 19-20. We have no need to be anxious or worried about what will come next; if we carry those worries to God, He will surely take of them. One of the most beautiful feelings is that in verse 7 - the peace of God will guard your hearts and minds. 

Verses 19-20 are some of my favorite verses in all of Scripture:  "And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus. To our God and Father be glory forever and ever. Amen." Isn't that so comforting? It goes with the beginning verses; when we let go of all the worries and anxieties this world brings and truly believe v. 19 - He will supply EVERY NEED - then we will have the peace that surpasses all understanding.
