¹ As the deer pants for streams of water,
so my soul pants for you, my God.
My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. (Psalm 42:1-2)

Amid chaos, the world in which we live,

there is a place of refuge.

¹ God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. ² Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; ³ Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah. (Psalm 46:1-3)

He is that refuge, Provider of the peace

for which we thirst, hunger, seek, and need.

⁵ Let your reasonableness be known to everyone. The Lord is at hand; ⁶ do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. ⁷ And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.  (Philippians 4:5-7)

To live in His refuge of peace daily,

we must practice these things in our lives:

 ⁸ Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. ⁹ What you have learned and received and heard and seen in Me—practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you. (Philippians 4:8-9)

DWELLING IN GOD’S PEACE
