“Do You Have This Peace?”
Hello, I’m Doug Apple…with Apples of Gold.
The peace which passeth all understanding.

Paul said it’s the peace that “transcends all understanding,” and he told us how to get it in Philippians 4:6-7.
“Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.”
Do you want this peace?
It is yours through Jesus Christ. So draw near to God and lay your requests at His feet.
And don’t forget the key ingredient. Oh, this is a key to receiving the peace of the Lord.
“With thanksgiving,” Paul said, “prayer…with thanksgiving…”
And the peace of God will guard your heart and your mind in Christ Jesus.
It’s available. It’s yours. Your mind and heart and soul can experience this amazing peace that only comes from God Almighty.
So ponder this amazing gift from the Lord as I ask you one more time.
Do you have this peace?

(Proverbs 25:11 – “A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in settings of silver.”)
Why “The Arrow’s Tip”? Each morning, after diligently seeking the Lord, I write Apples of Gold. Then before I release it to the public I pray one final prayer, “Lord, send forth your arrows.” I envision Apples of Gold as arrows, tips dipped in the river of the water of life that flows from the throne of God (Rev. 22:1), sailing toward the hearts and minds of men and women around the world.
