Text: John 14:27 (KJV)
Peace I leave with you,
my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you.
Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
Friends, it is important we develop inner
calmness which is free from every form of worries and not the world type of
peace. Yes, regardless of what is happening externally you must learn to
maintain inner peace. It is a settled thought free from any form of anxiety with
pressures around the world. Hence, you are not disturbed based on the
challenges rather you are emotionally stable by your trust in God. This is not
a temporary kind of peace rather the peace that passes human understanding
which is not based on the happenings around but on God’s promises. Colossians 3:15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts,
to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful. This is basically possible in the midst of the
storm by the assurance and confidence that God is absolutely in control. So, we
can bring comfort in uncertain times by leaning on God and His Word. In
essence, peace of mind is not the absence of problems, but the presence of
tranquility and trust that helps you face life without being consumed by worry.
Let’s go for this divine gift because we can sleep in the midst of the storm
like Jesus did as we come unto Him. .Math 11:28 Come
unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
Unfortunately, many make the mistake of assuming
that peace of mind is found on material or human wealth. Amazingly, it is a
gift from God alone as we embrace Him today. Philippians
4:7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your
hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Therefore, when we cast our
anxieties on the Lord in prayer, in fellowship, in obedience and choose to
trust Him, His peace acts as a guard over our hearts and minds. This peace is
not about the absence of challenges but about the presence of Christ within us.
So, we too can experience rest in our souls when we let Him take charge of our
fears and uncertainties today in Jesus name.
PRAYER POINT:
Father, help me to trust You with every burden and to rest in Your presence as
a lifestyle no matter the circumstances in Jesus name.
