February Fast - 21 Days Of Seeking HimSample

Peace.

There can be moments of total chaos in our household, with three kids full of lots of energy and LOTS of words (sometimes all 3 at once talking to me). It can get to a point where I just need some peace! 

Sometimes, our understanding of having peace is to run away from situations or circumstances, however, peace that comes from the Holy Spirit is a peace that subdues. It’s a peace that can exist in us, despite what’s going on around us. 

Definition of subdue:

To overcome, quiet, or bring under control (conquer, defeat, overpower, overcome). 

What an amazing promise! Peace within us to conquer, defeat and overcome challenging circumstances in our lives. His peace working in and through us in every season of our lives. 

Jesus, help me today to be aware of your peace that is within me. Whatever circumstances I may find myself in today, I know that your peace that surpasses all understanding guards my heart and my mind. Amen.
