Peace In Your PainSample

Beloved, 

You can’t hear him through a podcast or a youtube video, but He’s wiser; you can’t see him on a television channel; but He’s more faithful to show up; you can’t touch Him like your spouse, but He’s nearer than whatever else you trust. 

One thing is promised to you,

“The Lord will fight for you, and you shall hold your peace.” Exodus 14:14

You don’t have to fight for what is free. Jesus already won the war — true joy and peace are available in His presence. Peace is a gift from God. Totally free. No clearance tag or discounted goody bags. His peace is only achieved when you are wholeheartedly seeking Him. 

Seek peace and pursue it.

Psalm 34:14 says this, “Turn away from evil and do good. Search for peace, and work to maintain it.”

The bottom line is, peace isn’t a feeling, although it will affect our feelings. 

Peace comes when we take heart, and we align ourselves with the heart of Jesus Christ.

Today, remember, the world can’t give you peace, and the world can’t take it away. See John 14:27.

I’m praying for you, that these truths flood your heart with peace that surpasses all understanding — like they do mine. Peace that gives you permission to live like you are loved.

Because my friend, you are loved more than you could ever know. 

So I challenge you today, look for peace from God because He will provide. Quit looking toward your worldly situations and start looking toward the cross, because that was God’s gift to us that brought us a peace that we could never begin to fathom.
