“Peace is seeing a sunset and knowing who to thank.”

Today we are going to look at being thankful for the peace that only God can bring to our souls. I can remember the warm summer evening that I shot this image. My day was hectic and I was totally exhausted. As I laid in the grass and photographed these beautiful horses, I felt so much peace in my soul. The exhaustion was present in my body, and my mind was still racing somewhat, but gradually I was being permeated by His wonderful peace that passes all understanding. This is our God that we serve! He does things differently than anything we can dream up.
When you are in the midst of a storm, stop and believe that the same Jesus that calmed the storm can calm the disturbed waters in your soul. He is well able to bring chaos to a halt, and bring order back to your thoughts as you simply stop and pray. Today, I encourage you to ponder His peace and be thankful for it!
Mark 4:39 Expanded Bible
“Jesus stood up and ·commanded [reprimanded; rebuked] the wind and said to the ·waves [sea], “Quiet! [ Peace!] Be still!” Then the wind stopped, and it became completely calm. “
