DESCRIPTION
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Greek Word Studies delves into the meaning of 'sigao', which signifies
being silent, holding one's peace, or keeping something secret. The
concept is illustrated in various Bible verses, such as Luke 9:36 where
Jesus' disciples kept silent about what they had seen. Romans 16:25
reveals a mystery that has been kept secret for long ages past but is
now manifested through the Scriptures of the prophets, leading to
obedience of faith.

There are some things good without being perfect. You do not need to
have a whole regiment firing outside your room to wake you. It is quite
enough that your alarm clock rings. it is not necessary to fret about
everything; it is quite enough if the devil gets your mind rasped with
one little worry, one little thought which destroys your perfect peace.
It is like the polish on an exquisite table top. One scratch will
destroy it; and the finer it is, the smaller the scratch that will
deface it. And so your rest can be destroyed by a very little thing.
Perhaps you have trusted in God about your future salvation; have you
trusted Him about your present business or earthly cares, your money and
your family?

What is meant by the peace [that] passeth all understanding?
(Philippians 4:7).

It does not mean a peace no one can comprehend. It means a peace no
amount of reasoning will bring. You cannot get it by thinking. There may
be perfect bewilderment and perplexity all around the horizon, yet your
heart can rest in perfect security because God knows, He loves, He
leads.
