I just read Tony Dungys book Quiet Strength and highly recommend it! I am always amazed when someone faces so much pain how they can be at such peace. I heard my friend Mark Smith preach a sermon from Phil 4:6,7 (about 15 years ago) and the peace that passes understanding I have shared these verses with a lot people over the years following. For some reason they have really resonated with me again this week after reading Coach Dungys book. And although I still havent seen Mark in years , I have talked to him quite a bit recently. He like coach Dungy has done nothing but thank and praise God through a very difficult time. He is recovering from an accident he suffered on the job this summer. However you wouldnt know it when you talk to him hes more anxious to ask how you are and let you know hes praying for you. I know I have several friends that are hurting right now, deaths in the family, accidents and illness. Although I cant change those things I pray theyve received the peace to get them through. You all know far to well how imperfect I am but that makes me even more thankful that Gods grace, love, forgiveness, peace are free and real. Our part is easy we just have to ask for it and then be willing to receive it. So instead of just Phil 4:6,7 check out some very familiar verses In math 6:25-34. I am so thankful today for the many undeserved blessings In my life and for the grace I could never earn.
