The Peace of Elevation
H. W. Beecher Philippians 4:7 And the peace of God, which passes all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Dust, by its own nature, can rise only so far above the road; and birds which fly higher never have it upon their wings. So the heart that knows how to fly high enough escapes those little cares and vexations which brood upon the earth, but cannot rise above it into that purer air. (H. W. Beecher) Parallel Verses KJV: And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. WEB: And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus.
