Another day is spent looking at the snare of over-involvement. Selwyn opens today’study with: “Although God has called us to be people of moral integrity and to take a stand against immorality, He does not expect us to (take on the responsibility) to correct everything that is wrong. … ”
Selwyn uses the following verse, Philippians 4:7: ” … the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” To remind us of the balance that we can achieve by placing our trust in God to guide us to do the things we can do; and to leave all the rest for Him to organise and manage; and, for us to have peace about God’s perfect sovereignty – that is, His absolute power to have everybody and everything (good and bad) under His control.
It may not appear so, at times – but God is always, in complete control, of His universe. You can totally trust in His love to guide you through all the brokenness of this world – to your place in His home, where everything works and nothing breaks down or goes wrong, a place of never-ending peace.
Intense peace
