The God of Peace Be With You

Q: What does the Bible say about God's peace?

The Bible teaches that God is the source of peace and that it transcends understanding, as stated in Philippians 4:6-7. The concept of peace in the Bible is deeply rooted in the character of God. In Philippians 4:6-7, the Apostle Paul encourages believers not to be anxious but to present their requests to God. The promise that follows is profound – that the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard our hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. This peace is not merely the absence of trouble but a deep-seated assurance and tranquility that comes from trusting in God's sovereignty and goodness. Throughout Scripture, the God of peace is portrayed as one who desires for His people to experience holistic well-being, both spiritually and emotionally.

Q: How do we know that God is sovereign during trials?

We know God is sovereign during trials through Scripture, which assures us that all things work for the good of those who love Him (Romans 8:28). The sovereignty of God is a central tenet of Reformed theology, emphasizing that God is in control of all aspects of life, even during trials. Romans 8:28 states that God works all things for the good of those who love Him, indicating that even painful experiences have a divine purpose. This understanding is grounded in God's character, showing that His plans are for our ultimate good and His glory. In times of tribulation, believers are called to trust in this truth, recognizing that God's hand is at work, guiding us through our difficulties and using them to refine our faith and draw us closer to Him.

Q: Why is it important for Christians to have a right attitude towards suffering?

A right attitude towards suffering is crucial as it reflects our confidence in God's sovereignty and leads to spiritual growth (James 1:2-4). The attitude with which a believer approaches suffering can significantly impact their spiritual walk. James 1:2-4 instructs Christians to consider it pure joy when facing trials, as these tests produce perseverance, leading to maturity and completeness in faith. This perspective is vital in Reformed theology, which teaches that suffering is part of God's sovereign plan to sanctify His people. Embracing trials with a right spirit not only honors God but also cultivates resilience and a deeper reliance on His grace. A true understanding of suffering helps believers to maintain their focus on Christ, transforming hardships into opportunities for growth.

Q: What role does Scripture play in dealing with trials?

Scripture provides comfort, guidance, and strength during trials, as it reveals God's promises and reassures us of His presence (Psalm 119:50). The role of Scripture in the life of a believer is paramount, particularly in times of trial. Psalm 119:50 states, 'This is my comfort in my affliction; that your promise gives me life.' Here, we see that God's Word serves as a foundation for hope and encouragement amid suffering. During difficult times, when emotions may cloud our judgment, the truths found in Scripture can bring clarity, peace, and reassurance. Reading and meditating upon God’s Word allows believers to anchor their thoughts in His promises, reminding them of His faithfulness and sovereignty. Thus, regular engagement with Scripture equips Christians to face trials with faith and assurance.

Q: Why is it necessary to trust God during afflictions?

Trusting God during afflictions is essential as it enables us to experience His peace and provision in our lives (Proverbs 3:5-6). Trusting God in times of affliction involves relying on His wisdom and goodness despite our circumstances. Proverbs 3:5-6 encourages believers to trust in the Lord with all their heart and to not lean on their understanding. This trust is pivotal because it shifts focus from our limitations to God’s unlimited power and love. When we place our trust in Him, we open ourselves to His guidance, which brings wisdom and clarity. This reliance fosters peace, allowing us to navigate difficult seasons with confidence. Ultimately, faith in God's sovereignty assures us that He is in control, and He is working all things for our good, even during our most challenging moments.

Philippians chapter 4. Now I'm going to use this stool for
a couple of services until I get a little stronger. Ronnie said
he had on tape my last sermon. We don't want that to be literal,
so I'm going take it easy for a little while. Someone told
me today, someone who knows something about this, that now is the time
I must be careful when I get to feeling good, that you have
a temptation and a tendency to overdo it. So I want to take
the counsel of those who know and be very careful. So I'll
sit down and preach for a few services. My text tonight is
Philippians 4, verse 9. Philippians 4, verse 9. The subject, the God of peace be with you. Let's read verse 9. Those things
which you have both learned and received, and heard and seen
in me do." Look at it again. Those things which you have both
learned and received and heard and seen in me do. And the God of peace shall be
with you. Now, I've been preparing this
message for tonight over the period of the last few
weeks. And since I have been on the
shelf now for 35 days, that's how long it's been since I preached
last, 35 days ago, five Sundays and five Wednesday nights, not
being able to preach or to take part in worship services. And I know that most of you expect
me to make some reference to these 35 days and to this trial. I know you expect me to have
something to say about these days and about this experience
which will encourage you which will encourage those who have
been through times like this and are perhaps now going through
a difficult time or who will in God's providence sometime
in the future be laid aside for a little while. And I think that's
appropriate that I do that because I know that some of our best
preaching is born of trial. I think some of our best writing
and music compositions and things that God is pleased to really
use are born of difficult times. They come through some difficult
experience. They are inspired, in other words. An artist told me one time, he
said, I have people come to me and say, paint a picture for
me. He said, I can't do that. I can paint a picture, but it
won't be much. But sometimes I'm inspired to
paint a picture. Someone comes to you, Mike, and
says, write us a song. You can't do that. Oh, you could
write a song, but it wouldn't amount to much. But if God puts
you through deep water, a song will be born. And if we preach
from, I say this to the preachers, if we preach from where we are,
from where we are to people where they are, God will bless it.
That great hymn, It Is Well With My Soul, if I receive the story of the writing of that hymn correctly,
Mr. Spafford wrote it after his wife
Children would drown in a boat accident. And he wrote that hymn,
When peace like a river attendeth my way, Sorrows like sea bellows
roll, It's well with my soul. And then
that hymn in your book, page 501, After. That's the name of
it, After. I don't know whether we've ever
sung it here, A man named Vandal wrote that hymn after he saw
his son, little boy, run over by a truck and killed. And he
went in after the days of mourning were over and his funeral. He
wrote, after the toil and the heat of the day, after my sorrows
are past, after all sorrows are taken away, I'll see Jesus. at last, and He'll be waiting
for me. So, it's time to speak concerning
the things that we experienced, but I have the only reason, believe
me sincerely, the only reason I hesitate to do this tonight,
although I'm going to, but I hesitate to make very much of my time
of sickness and difficulty because really and truly it was such
a small thing, such a small trial compared to what many of you
have suffered. I know that. This is what some
of you have suffered with such courage and such faith and such
example. I feel embarrassed to even refer
to these this past month because it is such a small thing. My trial and my sickness was
only for a short time. Yours, just to name a few, there's
a lady sitting here in this service tonight that's been an inspiration
to me and to you and who went through a much deeper, longer
trial, Sandy Thornberry. And I thought a lot about you
while these days were taking place and your courage and your
strength and your faith. And I think of Todd Nabbert.
I think of Scott Richardson. I think of Harold Parker. What
an inspiration he was to me for seven years. I think of Bill
Borders, don't you? Three years of, I don't know
anything about suffering. And when I consider what some
of you have gone through and what you have suffered with such
courage and conviction. I'm embarrassed to speak about
such a small thing. But it was not wasted on me. It was not unprofitable. I'm
thankful for it. I'm thankful for these days.
I'm thankful I'm on this side of it, believe me. Very thankful. primitive Baptists who fell down
the stairs. I'm glad that's over. David said, I'll just read you
this, don't turn to it. He said, it is good for me that I've been
afflicted, that I might learn thy statutes. Now, we don't really learn anything
new, do we? In trials, we just experience
what we already knew in head. Is that correct? In other words,
if I didn't know before I went into this time that God's sovereign
and worketh all things after the counsel of his own will,
I won't learn it there. I'll experience it. I'll learn
it better. It's like a man who's training
to be a surgeon. He goes to school. He goes to
internship. He goes to all these things.
He watches other men operate. But one day, he has to operate. Now, he's going to learn something. He already knew it, Ron. And
these things which I'm going to bring to your attention tonight,
I knew them. You know them. God's taught them
to us in regeneration, in the renewing of the Holy Ghost, in
the new birth, in the revelation of His Spirit. We know these
things, but they're confirmed to us, Charlie. We learn them
by experience. And really and truly, Barnard
said one time, we really only believe what we experience. That's
when we really come to believe it. That's when we prove we believe
it. That's when we prove it. Alright,
here's three or four things. Number one, David prayed in Psalm
39. He said, Lord, make me to know
I fail, I am. Well, he did. He did. So quickly, one Tuesday night,
30 some odd days ago, I preached. at Fairmont, West Virginia. Brother
Milton Howard and I drove up there and went over to Brother
Scott's for a late afternoon dinner. Went over to the motel
and studied a while, took a little rest, went to church that night,
preached, had a great service. Went over to the fellowship hall,
visited with the people, had pie and coffee. 9.30 went up
to Polka Dot restaurant, had french fries and baked chicken.
11 o'clock at night went to the motel, acting like a 25-year-old,
you know. Next day I was down. Like Sandy
said to me the other night, and so quickly, and so quickly. One moment strong, healthy and
well, the next moment completely down. Our strength and our earthly
lives are in His hands. My dear people, that's so. God
said, I kill, I make alive, and He does. I wound and I heal,
and He does. He said, I'll raise up and I'll
bring you down. It's all in His sovereign will,
according to His own good pleasure, for His glory, and to accomplish
his purpose and for our good and for the good of those whose
lives we touch. Nothing happens to a believer
that's not according to the will of his Heavenly Father for his
good and God's glory. Do you believe that? I know that's
so. I know that's so. The hymn writer
said, swift to its close ebbs out life's little day. Earth's
joys grow dim and quickly pass away. Change and decay in all
around me I see. O God, Thou who changest not,
abide with me." How quickly the change does come. And you know,
if we can find our rest and trust and confidence only in Him, when
it happens, It won't take us quite by surprise, will it? Here's
the second thing. I know this. I knew this. But
perhaps I learned it a little better. Listen to me. A right spirit and a right attitude toward trials
and suffering is not automatic because you're a believer. Did
you hear me? Someone said, was he a good patient?
Somebody asked Doris, is he a good patient? Well, believe me, that's
not automatic because you're a believer. I hear people say,
well, if a person really loves Christ, if a person really believes
Christ, he'll endure every trial and every affliction with patience
and submission. Not so. That's not so. He ought to, but
not he will. I'll tell you this, that new
nature and love for Christ and confidence we have in his sovereignty
and in his purpose is necessary for a right attitude and a right
spirit. You're not going to have a right
attitude and a right spirit if you don't have that new nature.
If you don't know God's sovereign, you're with me now? You're not
going to have that right attitude and right spirit and right mindset
through a trial and through a difficulty unless you do know the Lord in
His grace and sovereign and majesty and power. But because you know
Him to be sovereign and know everything to be according to
His will doesn't automatically give you that attitude and spirit.
Is that clear what I'm saying, Tom? You see, there are certain conditions
and results. There are causes and effects.
Let me show you. Now turn to Proverbs chapter
3. Proverbs chapter 3. There are some true believers
who have, for a moment, acted real ugly under trial. And they regret it, and they
mourn over it, and grieve over it. There's some of us who have
murmured before God, David did, did he not, in Psalm 73? He said,
I was like a beast before God. Did David know Christ? Did David
love Christ? Well, he acted like an unbeliever.
He said, why am I suffering like this and these pagans out here
prospering? He said, why is a full cup wrung
out to me and their eyes bulge out with fatness? He said, when
I thought about that, it was too painful for me. And God straightened
him out, didn't he? So there are causes and effects.
David came to the right attitude. But something had to be taught
him, revealed to him. He had to experience something.
He had to experience a cause before he experienced the effect.
He had to meet a condition before he experienced the result. Now
watch this, Proverbs 3, verse 5. Proverbs 3, verse 5. Trust in
the Lord with all thine heart and lean not to thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge Him. There's the conditions. Now here's
the results. And He will direct your path.
Trust in the Lord with all thine heart. Don't lean to your own
understanding. In all your ways acknowledge
Him. Now that's the cause. Here's the effect. He'll direct
your path. You'll experience it. That's
right. Psalm 27 said this, I'll quote it to you, you're familiar
with it. David said, wait on the Lord. Again, I'm saying to
you, wait on the Lord. He just keeps, wait on the Lord.
He'll strengthen your heart. Wait, I say. He said, I would
have fainted if I had not believed to see the goodness of the Lord
in the land of the living. So, let's wait. You run ahead,
trouble. You've got to wait. Listen to
this. Cast all your care on Him. He
cares for you. But now the hymn writer said
take your burden to the Lord and what? Leave the thing. Cast
it all on Him. He cares for you. But you're
not going to experience His care as long as you're caring. I'm not going to experience His
comfort as long as I'm supplying my own, you know, or finding
reasons outside of Him. The Scripture says, put off the
old man, put on the new man. So many times I experienced this. I could feel myself during this
time getting contrary and finding fault with God's providence.
And I had to straighten up. You understand? You've been there,
haven't you? I had to straighten up. I had to correct my attitude. I had to remind myself of some
things. Remind myself, God's in this
now. This is not man's doings, it's
God's doings. And we'll rejoice and be glad
they're in. This is the day the Lord made. I had to keep doing
that. Do you have to do that? It's
not automatic, believe me. Don't chastise yourself overly
when you experience these times of frustration and rebellion
because it's normal and it has to be put aside. And it can't
be done once for all. It cannot be done once for all.
Every day, it's a new day. Give us this day our daily bread. Give me this day the grace I
need. You don't gather the manna today
for tomorrow, do you, Cecil? Pick it up this morning. You
try to save it, it'll rot. I cannot go on today's grace
tomorrow. I need a fresh batch. And that's
what I'm saying, that the right attitude and the right spirit
Now don't you take it for granted, because it doesn't come that
way. It comes through submission, surrender, and it's every day. Or here's the third thing. I
learned again what I've been trying to say to you all these
years. The importance of His Word. The
importance of this precious, blessed Word. the importance
of His Word and His promises to my emotions and to my mental
state and to my comfort. I say unto you as I've said over
and over again, when you're in trouble, read God's Word. When you are in trouble, when
the storm clouds roll, when you can't understand some things,
when you can't And you can't comprehend some things, and if
you can't read it, have somebody read it to you. That's what I'm
telling you. In the hospital, and as I said,
my trial was so minor compared to many you've gone through,
but lying there, and you know what a hospital, you've been
there, you know those beds are impossible. I had to always bring
my pillar from home. and bought me one of those egg
crate things. I did everything I could to make
that bed comfortable. They keep coming in sticking
you in fever high and all. I said, honey, read to me. I
need you to read to me. And she'd sit there by the bed
and read psalm after psalm after psalm. I'm telling you, I'm not
just preaching now, I'm telling you the truth. It's amazing the
peace and the joy Isn't this right, John? And the comfort
that'll come while that word's being read. And these clouds
just seem to, they won't stay where his promises are. Will
they, Jim? When that word, when you're reading
it and when you get able to lay it right there by you and read
it through every trial, through every dark cloud, through every
difficulty, please, I say to you, listen to me. Do what I'm
saying. Read his words. or have somebody
read it to you. Turn to Psalm 119 a minute where
Ronnie was reading a while ago. Listen, do you notice the many
references that Ronnie read to the Word? Psalm 119. Listen to this. Let me read you
just a few. Psalm 119, 41. Listen to this. Psalm 119. I'm going to read verse 41. Let thy mercies come also unto
me, O Lord, even thy salvation according to thy word. Verse
49, Remember the word unto thy servant, upon which thou hast
caused me to hope. This is my comfort in my affliction. Thy word hath quickened me. I could go on. Ronnie, you read
this chapter, didn't you, when you prepared your reading. But over and over it says, my
comfort, my stay, My foundation is Thy Word. Now the words of
men are great help, great comfort. So many of you sent cards and
letters to me and I read them over and over again. And I can't
tell you what they mean to know somebody out there is thinking
about you and praying for you. It means so much. And then our
own resolve and determination as we As we ask God to give us
the right spirit, like Job, though He slay me, I'll trust Him. It's
the Lord, let Him do what He will. That all helps. But there's
nothing like His Word. I'm telling you, there's nothing.
There's no comfort, there's no strength, there's no assurance
like the reading of the Word. It's peace, joy, and confidence. All right, here's the next thing.
And here's the great battlefield. I thought a lot about this. Here's
the great battlefield. Here's where the conflict is. The thoughts. The mind. That's sick or well. Scripture says, as a man thinketh,
In his heart, so is he. As a man thinketh. You know,
someone can come in, visit with you, and you can smile. And you
can carry on a conversation. But there may be a different
war going on in here than what you're letting him know about.
The thoughts. You see, our thoughts can plunge
us into depression. Our thoughts. Or they can lift
our spirits to God. just by what we're thinking.
That's right. During confinement, you have
a lot of time to think. And how you think and what you
think has more effect on you than the pain. It really does. It has more effect
on you than your surroundings. I'll give you an example. I went
to see the doctor last Friday for another examination, and
we talked, and he encouraged me. He said, you're doing fine.
But he said that the fact that your eyesight has been affected,
he said, I want to check on that. So I'm going to have my nurse
come in and draw some blood. Well, you know, after a week,
eight days in the hospital, you've given up about half your blood
anyway. It doesn't bother you. They keep
coming in, getting it, and they never put any back. Except in
your case, Case, they gave you a lot, but it gets the way you
don't. So I didn't think anything about
it. The nurse came in, the doctor went out. She came in with that
tray and, you know, business-like, you know, and you sit there and
you drape your arm across the table there next to you, and
said, and Doris sitting in front of me, and I was talking to her,
and I wasn't paying any, I did look around and see that hydraulic
pump she brought with her, you know. I thought I'm going to
give a blood mobile or something. But I just laid my arm down there
nonchalantly, you know, and I was talking to Doris. And it really
doesn't hurt. It doesn't hurt that much, you
know. That didn't bother me. But I had my mind somewhere else.
I was talking to Doris. We were talking about something
else. I wasn't paying attention. And I heard her say, Whoop, don't
quit on me now. And I turned and I saw that and
I got to thinking about that and things started going around. See what I'm saying? My thoughts.
This was all going on and I wasn't paying any attention to it, accepting
it. I was talking to my wife and
we were laughing and saying something, you know. diverted my thoughts to the problem. And I had to tell myself, get
away from it now, look over here and think of something else.
Peter did that. He was sitting in the boat and
he said, Lord, is that you? He said, bid me come to you on
the water and he stepped out and started walking to the Lord.
He was looking at the Lord and what did he do? What did he do? He got to thinking about the
water and the waves. He looked at the nurse. and the
blood. And he started going down. He
said, Lord save me. And this is what I'm saying. Our thoughts, our thoughts, they
have more, how we think during this time and what we think has
more effect upon us than our surroundings. It's not the pain.
Because you can be in pain doing something you enjoy and not pay
attention to the pain. You can be in pain and be with
someone you enjoy and not pay attention to it. You can be in
the most... I tell you this, if you were
to tell me that you wanted me to drive from here to shop us
next week or next month by myself, I wouldn't do it. But I did take
that trip with Doris and Milton and Claudia and enjoyed every
minute of it. See what I mean? It was no trial
at all. My thoughts. And you know, we must not allow
these natural thoughts to override our Lord's Word and promises.
See what I'm saying? During a trial, we'll sit sometime
and we'll think about the past. We think about how dumb we've
been, about our failures, and about we could have done more
and we didn't. And you know what I'm talking
about. And we think about the present and its troubles instead
of the future and its glory. And we think the worst and expect
it and build bridges over places there's no creeks. Do you do
that? Thinking! Well, turn to Philippians,
my text again. And let me read you something. Philippians chapter 4, my text again. Verse 6, verse
4, let's read verse 4. Rejoice in the Lord always, and
again I say rejoice. Now I'm talking about thoughts,
attitudes. thinking, mind, is always caused
to rejoice in the Lord, isn't there? That word's used ten times
in this epistle. Always caused to rejoice. Rejoice
in his grace, which is sufficient. Rejoice in his blood, which cleanses. Rejoice in his righteousness,
which justifies. Rejoice in his love, which Bob
told us last Sunday never fails. Rejoice in his providence, which
works all things out for my good. Rejoice in His intercession,
which you talked about. Always continue. Rejoice that
your names are written in the Lamb's Book of Life. Man, I got
every reason to rejoice. Verse 5, and let your moderation. That's not talking about eating
and drinking. It's talking about compassion. and consideration
and sincerity. Let your sincerity, your compassion,
your consideration be known unto all men. Let it stand out. Put it on display for the Lord's
at hand. He'll help you. The Lord's at
hand, He'll observe you. The Lord's at hand, He'll judge
you. That's right. The Lord's at hand. Let it be
known. Alright. B, look at this. Be careful for
nothing. You know what that's saying?
Quit fretting. That's what it's saying. Quit fretting. Do not
fret and be overly anxious about anything. But in everything,
by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests
be made known to God. And if you do that, the peace
of God, which passeth all understanding, will keep your heart and your
mind. through Christ Jesus. It will order these thoughts.
And then he tells us this, finally brethren, whatsoever things are
true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever
things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things
are of good report, if there's any virtue, any praise, do what? Think on these things. Think
on these things. Think on them. Now go back to
that verse again, verse 8. Whatsoever things are true, is
His Word true? Are His promises true? Is His
providence true? Is Christ the truth? Well, you
know He is. Then think on that. Whatsoever
things are honest, out to the side, write this in your Bible. Worthy. That's the word. What sort of things are worthy?
Worthy of thought. Is this worth thinking? You lie
there, you're in this trial, you're thinking the worst. Is that worthy of any thought? You're thinking of the past.
Is it worthy? Is it profitable? What sort of things are worth
thinking? That's what he's saying there, worthy of consideration,
worthy of reverence. You need to think on that. Let
me show you something over here in Romans 8. Romans 8, right
there on that one word, worthy. Romans 8, verse 18, listen to
this. I reckon, Romans 8, 18, I reckon, I reckon, that the
sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared
with the glory which shall be revealed in us. It ain't worth
considering. That's exactly what that says.
Not worth it. Read on verse 8. Whatsoever things
are just, well, you know who that is. He's the just one. He's
the just and justifier. He enables God to be just and
justifier. He's the just who died for the
unjust. Paul, Anna and I said, you're
going to see the just one. He's the one to think about.
He's worthy of thinking on. So everything's a pure, lovely,
a good report. If there be any virtue, if there
be any excellence, that's the word virtue is excellence, if
there be any excellence, If there be any praise, then you meditate
and think on these things. These things. Fix your mind on
these things. Fix your mind. Now look at the
next verse. Here's my text and I'll close. And those things
which you have learned, have we learned them? He that
hath learned of the Father cometh unto me. Those things which you
have received, have we received them? Paul said, I preached the
gospel to you and you received it. 1 Corinthians 15. To as many
as received him. Those things which you have heard,
he that heareth my word and believeth on me hath everlasting life. Those things which you have seen, in the apostle, in Paul, which
you've seen in some of those I name tonight, in their courage and faithfulness. Two letters, Duke. A young man came to Brother Barnard
one time and said, I'd like to talk to you. Brother Barnard
said, okay, let's go in here in the office. They went in the
office, shut the door, Brother Barnard sat there and
he was real quiet. And finally, he said to the young man, he
said, what did you want to see me about? He said, Brother Barnard,
I want to serve the Lord. Barnard got up and looked in
and said, well son, do it. And went out the door. Do it. And this is what I told
myself for the past few days. All these things I've learned.
and received and heard and seen, demonstrated for me. Just do
it. Put it in motion. Put it and add it to an activity.
And look at that next line. And the God of peace shall be
with you. Now, I'm a grace. One hundred
percent, if there's anything in me anywhere that's not sovereign
grace, I want to get rid of it right now. But I'm telling you
this, that says the things you've learned and received and heard
and seen, do it, and the God of peace will be with you. And no reason for my even thinking
that He's going to honor Anything that doesn't honor Him. I don't
care if it's a song, or an instrumentalist, or a message, or an article,
or a bulletin, or a testimony, or what it is. He's going to
be with those that do. what they've learned and heard,
all right. Now we'll sing that song, Mike,
that you had picked out as well, with my soul.
