God Within, Making Music

Thursday. Phil. 4: 4-9.

Peace is a heart word. It’s more. It’s a heart thing. And the thing’s immensely more than the word. The experience is so much more than can be told. And the heart controls life and mood and service. Peace is God himself within making music, holding off all storm and disturbance and discord. He comes in through the only door to the heart, the door of our glad consent to his unstinted presence and control.
