So bizarre thing happened today. Sometimes my past will pop into my mind and i'll have a twinge of pain and then lay it down at the cross and pray for peace about the present. And the pain will subside but I normally have this constant half uneasiness... kinda weird. Well today my past popped into my mind and immediately... before I could even pray anything.... it was almost like God read my heart and KNEW I was about to pray for his peace again. Because immediately after I remembered my past I was just about to ask for peace and was overwhelmed with a peace that literally staggered me! I had to sit down on the couch and just soaked myself in the peace that only God can provide the soul with.
No uneasiness. I was completely filled it seemed. I'm not sure if that is possible for a human to be COMPLETELY filled. But I felt pretty darn full of Peace. It only lasted moments. But the feeling still lingers on in my heart. I remember that peace.
Is that really the kind of peace God has to offer us through Christ? Is this really the power of Christ? A PEACE that literally can STAGGER a man?! Who has heard of a peace that can do that? I've heard of fear that staggers a man. I've heard of... pain that staggers a man. Both are things that can occur through humanly efforts. But, have you EVER heard of a PEACE that can stagger a man coming from another human? I sure haven't. I'm not talking about a peace of relief either. Just complete peace in where God has me. Knowing that he is working his wonderful will in my life in every moment of the present whether painful or content.
So not super related to this post or anything.... but I read this verse and really thought it had something to teach.
"Oh, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God!
How unsearchable his judgements, and his paths beyond tracing out!
Who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who has been his counselor?
Who has ever given to God that God should repay him?
For from him and through him and to him are all things.
To HIM be the glory FOREVER"
Romans 11:33-36
