“Finally, brothers, whatever things are true, whatever things are honorable, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report; if there is any virtue, and if there is any praise, think about these things. The things which you learned, received, heard, and saw in me: do these things, and the God of peace will be with you.” (Philippians 4:8-9 WEB)
Besides evicting fears and worries from your heart through prayer and thanksgiving, your heart has to be filled with something: God’s word—especially about Jesus and His finished work at the cross.
Paul is taking about meditating. When you consciously keep God’s word in your heart and in your mind, it will transform you as you believe it and you’ll be able to produce good fruits (good works, Grace-filled speech and godly character).
God has many titles. For this context, Paul reveals Him as the God of Peace.
In Judges 6:23-24, Yahweh (the pre-incarnate Jesus) revealed Himself to Gideon as Yahweh Shalom (in English: The Lord is Peace).
When Melchizedek (he’s most likely the pre-incarnate Jesus) appeared to Abraham, He was called the King of Salem (comes from the Hebrew word shalom which means peace). Jesus is the King of Peace (Genesis 14:18).
If you need peace, don’t seek it by worldly means—they don’t give true, lasting relief. Just receive perfect peace from Jesus.
