“And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus.” Philippians "4":7
The peace of God is not just a certain kind of peace that God bestows upon us. It is God’s own peace, the very peace which is inherent in His nature. His is a peace that nothing can disturb. When He created the angels and when rebellion broke out in their ranks with far-reaching effects in His universe, not even so dark a calamity could disturb Him. He proceeded to realize His heart’s desire by repairing the damage done on the earth and then creating another order of beings—man.<br/><br/>Then man too fell. Yet the peace of God remained undisturbed. We would have expected Him to act immediately to make good the damage; but not so. God could wait for “the fullness of time” before sending His Son to recover what was lost. A wait of thousands of years put no strain on His peace. God promises that a peace of this quality will guard the hearts and thoughts of those who fulfill His condition of committing everything to Him in prayer.
