GOD'S PEACE

"Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus."

Philippians 4:6, 7
King James Version

I think there are a lot of times that we worry and get upset when we don't have to be upset. If we will take our burdens to our Heavenly Father and leave them there, Jesus will give us peace.

Charles A. Tindley wrote one of my favorite hymns "Leave It There" I love the words in this inspiring hymn. "If the world from you withhold of its silver and its gold, And you have to get along with meager fare, Just remember, in His Word, how He feeds the little bird—Take your burden to the Lord and leave it there.

Leave it there, leave it there, Take your burden to the Lord and leave it there; If you trust and never doubt, He will surely bring you out— Take your burden to the Lord and leave it there."

The next time we are going through a dark valley or crisis instead of worrying, let's take our burden to our Heavenly Father and He will give us peace through our precious Saviour. What a privilege is ours to be God's children.
