Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. John 14:27
We all have anxious weeks—filled with worries over the direction our culture is drifting or concerns for our children, our marriages, our businesses, our finances, our personal health and well-being. Nevertheless, Jesus has assured us that despite disturbing circumstances we can be at peace. He said, “My peace I give to you” (John 14:27).Jesus’s days were filled with distress and disorder: He was beleaguered by His enemies and misunderstood by His family and friends. He often had no place to lay His head. Yet there was no trace of anxiety or fretfulness in His manner. He possessed an inner calm, a quiet tranquility. This is the peace He has given us—freedom from anxiety concerning the past, present, and future. The peace He exhibited; His peace.
In any circumstances, no matter how dire or trivial, we can turn to Jesus in prayer. There in His presence we can make our worries and fears known to Him. Then, Paul assures us, the peace of God will come to “guard [our] hearts and [our] minds in Christ Jesus” (Phil. 4:7). Even if we’ve had “one of those weeks,” we can have His peace.
Dear Lord, thank You that I can come to You with every care and Your peace will guard my mind. In Jesus Name I pray, Amen!
Today my dear beloved friends, I encourage you to remember that having peace with God does not ensure problem-free living. However, it does
steady us during difficult times. Jesus told His followers, “In the world you will have tribulation,” but He also said, “In Me you may have peace” (John 16:33). Because of Christ, the true peace of God can fill our hearts (Col. 3:15).
Peace floods the soul when Christ rules the heart. Today dear ones Be a Blessing- Live Your Life Peacefully. I am going to cut back to 3 posts per week due to health issues with my kidneys. I am so thankful to all who so graciously have shown me love and support.
I LOVE you all so dearly and am so grateful for you all. I will post mostly the weekends Saturday, Sunday, and
either Mondays or Fridays.😊❤
