To Have the Peace of Christ
by Belinda Blevins
Verse for Thought:
My Peace I give to you. John 14:27
The kind of peace that brings inner serenity that fills our mind and heart no matter what is going on in our lives is a beautiful thing. Sadly, today many people live life without consistently experiencing Gods peace. We know that God works all things according to his good and perfect will. He loves us and will see us through all situations. It may be painful and difficult but all you have to do is yield to him. That means letting go of your will to experience his peace.
When Jesus left heaven to become human, his goal was to bring us peace. While we are here on earth we will have troubles (John 16 :33). However, God is constantly helping us to conform to his image when we get stressed out.
Gods word is our foundation for peace. It increases our trust and assures us of his promises. His peace is a gift to us. When there is turmoil just let go and trust him. It will not be easy, but if you walk in the spirit and confessing any sin that you are holding on to, you can have peace. That peace that surpasses all understanding. He is our Prince of peace. Today I believe it is our only hope. To know his peace is my daily prayer. Do you want to experience it too?
Let's Pray:
Heavenly Father, thank you for being in control of our peace. Help us to yield to you in all situations. Teach us to trust you when we don’t know what to do. Remind us of your sovereignty. In Jesus' name amen.
Take the next step:
Try setting aside time each day to fix your focus and your eyes upon Jesus
You will know his peace and discover a tranquil rest in your life.
