PEACE

”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

While on vacation, I took two of my granddaughters to a ceramics studio. I have not been to one in over 30 years! I had a very hard time picking out the one I wanted to paint. There was a very large selection of ceramic pieces to choose from.

Finally, I saw the one I wanted! After painting it two different colors/ways…and not being satisfied…I finally chose one all over color and then different colored “spots.”

I am a very visual person. One of the dot colors I chose was black. It immediately didn’t feel right and I stopped and waited for inspiration. I immediately thought – black symbolizes our sin. I then found myself reaching for the red paint and painting over the black with red. The blood of Christ shed on the cross for us cleanses us from our sin! His blood redeems us/frees us from the power of sin and restores us into right relationship to Father God! Hallelujah!!

“…you were not redeemed with perishable things like silver or gold from your futile way of life inherited from your forefathers, but with precious blood, as of a lamb unblemished and spotless, the blood of Christ.”
‭‭1 Peter‬ ‭1:18-19‬ ‭

BELIEVE!

“…if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved;”. Romans‬ ‭10:9‬ ‭

“For this is the will of My Father, that everyone who beholds the Son and believes in Him will have eternal life, and I Myself will raise him up on the last day.”” John‬ ‭6:40‬ ‭

I bless you, my friends, and speak this blessing over you:

“Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that you will abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.” Romans‬ ‭15:13‬ ‭

AMEN & AMEN!
