#68101 RE: plugger #68100

I’m at a loss for words plugger. That is one of the most heart-felt posts I have read - perfect truth in perfect peace with the Lord equals blessed assurance - Jesus is mine. Thank you for sharing your peace with the world!

Good morning plugger and thank you for your awesome words from your heart...and....good morning all y'all....i know you believer folks know these two scriptures but i have to post them anyway....
And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:7
“I am leaving you with a gift—peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give. So don’t be troubled or afraid.
John 14:27
When i think of peace within ole Rick Sane...that be me....ill share a couple examples...i think about when im sitting on the river bank fishing listening to the water run by...not a care in the world...the crazy world is like a million miles away and completly out of my mind...waiting to see my bobber start bouncing and disappear under the water....looking around at the beauty of creation in the mountains and all the different blooms and leaves color....seeing a deer...bear...squirrel...rabbit....flock of ducks or geese fly in....as i said...not a care in the world...in perfect peace with myself and my surroundings. In Psalm 23:2 it says....He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.........i totally get that! And we remember....Romans 1:20...."For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse."
I so see God in His creation and i rejoice in it and from that i have His peace and feel His presense there.
Then on the other hand....back when i had covid pretty bad for 14 day couple years ago....im single...i was home alone for those two weeks...and i had no doubt that if i went to the hospital that i would be admitted and just had that thought that i would never come home. About day 4....thru much conversation with Jesus....i had made up my mind....put my faith and trust in Jesus...that if it was my time to die and go to my eternal reward in heaven...then i was going to die at home...with Jesus by my side...and it was all going to be cool...and from that....a peace came over me that i was ok with whatever Gods plan for me was....and...here i am typing this and giving glory to God!!
So my point....kinda sorta...one might think to different kinds of peace....but in my mind....yes...totally different circumstances....but....both had and have Gods hand in them.....how cool is that!!!!
I totally get that in this life....we can find a kind of secular peace that can have in some way a calming effect of us....but in comparrison to the peace that Jesus gives those that are born-again...the difference is maybe as far as the east is from the west!

Every day with Jesus
Is sweeter than the day before
Every day with Jesus
I love Him more and more,
Jesus saves and keeps me
And He’s the One I’m waiting for;
Every day with Jesus
Is sweeter than the day before.
