”Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your heart be troubled, nor let it be fearful.“ John‬ ‭14‬:‭27‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬

It is so tempting to search for our peace by looking at what is going on in our lives. If things are going the way we desire, we feel good and are at peace. BUT, if things are chaotic and we don’t understand why things are happening the way they are happening, it is very easy to let our peace disappear…we are fearful, angry, frustrated, depressed, etc.

This scripture reminds us that the peace that the world gives is not reliable. That peace is based on what is happening in the world. But, the peace that the Lord gives us transcends all that is happening around us!! We can have His peace as we are in the middle of the storms of life. It is that peace that is based on WHO GOD IS and not based on circumstances.

Brothers and Sisters, may we look for our peace in the right place. May we stop looking around us and may we focus on the LORD. HE IS OUR PEACE!!

I pray that “…the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:7
