PEACE: The Gift that Keeps on Giving
The Lord gives strength to his people; the Lord blesses his people with peace. (Psalm 29:11)
Jesus is called the "Prince of Peace" in the Bible, which tells a lot about how His followers are to live. God doesn't want me to be stressed out or full of worry. He wants me to live in freedom from all that tries to hold me down. That's tough if you think it is a sign of weakness to be at peace with yourself. If I can't fret or get worked up about things, what else is there for me to do?
I often ask myself...does living a peace-filled life mean that God will arrange my life in such a way that I'll face no uncertainties and have a clear sailing through life? No, in fact, I think life may be harder for me as a follower, but God will equip me with a supernatural peace to help keep me focused on Him no matter what.
God does not grant peace to only a select few. He offers it to all who would believe in Him. The next time you are in a situation where the weight of the world seems to be on your shoulders, stop and turn your attention to the God who promises to give you a peace that passes all understanding.
This week.....I will allow God's peace to rule in my heart!
