A Peace of Baltimore

My heart feels at peace for some reason. I have a hunch to what that reason is...

In the past, I used to seek after peace from God, knowing that only He can give true peace. And in Philippians 4, it speaks of peace that surpasses all understanding. So somehow I have an impression that peace is somewhat a supernatural experience that is rather transcending; some way, somehow, divine in nature that cannot be explain.

I do not consider myself to be a Calvinist, but my beliefs have tendencies weighting towards Calvinism.  This is such that God uses what is called the secondary cause to fulfill His will. In other words, God uses the natural world to fulfill His divinely sovereign will. And as peace that is granted by Him is something that He longs to give to His children, He can opt to use secondary-cause as a way to give peace.

So even from thinking that I used to experience peace from something in-explainable to the natural world, the omnipotent God can grant me peace from some of the littlest things in life around me to give me peace, even from events that makes no sense to the situation.

I just got back from a short trip to Baltimore, MD. An overdue trip that I have been thinking of making and finally did so. The trip was not significant in anyway where there were any unique or exciting places that I visited after having to live in New York. But it somehow brought about something significant with my heart with the experience. More than just the fact that I get to see relatives, but it is something I see among family that brought my heart at peace.
