We live in a world full of upheaval and strife. Not a day goes by where there isn’t a tragedy of some sort occurring at the local, state, national, or global level. Not to mention disasters occurring throughout the world. How do we achieve the peace in our lives that we so desperately seek?
Scripture tells us “You will keep in perfect peace all who trust you, whose thoughts are fixed on you.” Isaiah 26:3. The peace that we all seek and need can only be found in the source of true peace and love; in God, Himself. “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 trouble, and do not be afraid.” John14:27.
If we truly believe that God gives us peace, then we need to trust Him with all our heart that He will bless us with His peace that transcends all peace. God’s peace that He gave to His Son Jesus is also given to us through the power of the Holy Spirit. The more we keep our thoughts focused on Jesus the greater His blessing, love, and peace we receive. Although it’s hard to stay focused on God constantly, we must try. God loves those who love Him. My hope and prayer is that we strive to focus on Jesus. Blessing and love to all, Carbie.
