Daily Prescriptions

It clearly advertised that if I would just call the 1-800 number, it would give me peace of mind. It clearly assured me that this product would cover any of my car repair expenses as long as I owned the car. It warned me that it is possible that my car is out of warranty and that I would have the peace of mind of knowing that they would be with me every step of the way if I bought their used car warranty. There was one little problem, however. The car that this company was offering to cover was no longer mine. In fact, it was a car I owned two cars before my present vehicle! I burst out laughing at them. Bless their hearts, they were offering me peace of mind, and being with me every step of the way when they didn’t even realize that I hadn’t owned that car for over ten years or so. Their car warranty didn’t seem to match their promise. I do know One Who promises peace to His people. He does not promise a problem-free life. He does not promise a life of ease and luxury. He does, however, promise, “And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:7). This peace comes when the believer brings “…everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving” to the Lord (Philippians 4:6a). What a wonderful privilege to let our “requests be made known unto God” (Philippians 4:6b). Friends, it doesn’t mean that we won’t be concerned about a particular situation. But if we know Christ as our Savior, we can talk with Him about anything. He truly does settle our hearts, calm us down, and give us His peace. Nothing against car warranties; however, this is real peace of mind.
