One of the things I treasure more than anything is God’s Peace. The peace of the Lord leads and guides me in everything I do. It is the Lord’s Peace that gives me comfort no matter what battle I may be facing. How does God’s peace show up in your life?
Scripture Passage of the Day
John 14:27 New International Version
27 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.
Let Us Pray
Spirit of the Living God, thank you for always dwelling with us. Thank you for your peace that passes all understanding. Your peace is as important as the air I breathe. May we always be able to rest and abide continually in your peace.
May the Peace of the Lord be with you at all times and in all situations.
The Lord’s Peace is constant and unchanging. It is stable and unwavering. No matter the situation, no matter what our circumstances look like, the Peace of the Lord will always be available.
I say that it is available because, just like accepting the salvation of the Lord, accepting His Peace is a choice as well. Also, like salvation, the Lord’s Peace is a Gift.
Sooooooo, what will your response be? 🤔
How will you handle LIFE when things don’t go your way? Do you look at the problem, or do you look to God? Trust me, I have first-hand experience that looking at the problem does NOT work.
Father, God, we look to You. Thank you for being our Peace, Shelter, and Salvation.
Holy Scriptures
John 14:22-27
The Message
22 Judas (not Iscariot) said, “Master, why is it that you are about to make yourself plain to us but not to the world?”
23-24 “Because a loveless world,” said Jesus, “is a sightless world. If anyone loves me, he will carefully keep my word and my Father will love him—we’ll move right into the neighborhood! Not loving me means not keeping my words. The message you are hearing isn’t mine. It’s the message of the Father who sent me.
25-27 “I’m telling you these things while I’m still living with you. The Friend, the Holy Spirit whom the Father will send at my request, will make everything plain to you. He will remind you of all the things I have told you. I’m leaving you well and whole. That’s my parting gift to you. Peace. I don’t leave you the way you’re used to being left—feeling abandoned, bereft. So don’t be upset. Don’t be distraught.
