He’ll take care of us!

And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:7 ESV)

  At an art contest on the theme of peace, most of the competitors contributed tranquil scenes of lazy days in the countryside, where all was stillness and harmony.
 To be sure, that’s a form of peace—but the picture that won the award illustrated the hardest kind of peace to achieve. It depicted the roaring, raging, foaming rapids of a storm-swollen waterfall, and—barely visible on a little tree branch overhanging the torrent—there was a nest where a tiny bird sat peacefully singing in spite of the turmoil below.
 The Bible promises that we can have a peace that transcends all understanding. But that kind of peace comes only through the Prince of Peace—Jesus—and the knowledge that whatever happens, He’ll take care of us! Like an airline captain, He knows when we will enter a period of turbulence, and He remains in control, even as the plane may rock and drop.
 God can solve your problems in one little glimpse. He can wipe away your fears and tears with just one little restful moment in that perfect peace He gives when your mind is fixed on Him and Him alone. —Ronan Keane [1]

 Worry a little bit every day and in a lifetime you will lose a couple of years. If something is wrong, fix it if you can. But train yourself not to worry. Worry never fixes anything. —Ernest Hemingway
