2 Kings 4:1-44; Jeremiah 37:1-21; Hebrews 9:1-14
The peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:7 NKJV
What an attractive prospect: our hearts and minds protected by the incomprehensible peace of God! In John 11, Martha was perplexed, and Mary was heartbroken because Jesus did not come in time to heal their brother, Lazarus, whom He loved. When He finally arrived, it seemed too late—Lazarus was dead. Martha poured out her confusion and Jesus dignified her with a profound discussion about resurrection. Later, Mary poured her heart out to Jesus with the exact words her sister had used earlier. This time, Jesus wept. Some of us have hurting hearts; some have swirling brains. His peace guards both. —Caroline Webb
There is a place of comfort sweet, near to the heart of God,
A place where we our Saviour meet, near to the heart of God. —C. McAfee
