Insightful, Biblical Devotions
“Peace, I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid” (John 14:27).
You may be going through the biggest storm of your life, but I want you to know that you can trust God. He can calm any storm; He is more powerful than any circumstance in our lives. I pray that His peace will guard your heart and mind today. God’s peace can comfort you in times of grief. God’s peace can give you joy and contentment. He can give you peace that extends beyond your feelings and circumstances. He has given you His word to protect your heart and mind from becoming overwhelmed by what’s happening around you.
Because of His word, we can have peace. It’s a process, and it’s like an exercise. You can take the scriptures and begin to meditate on them. It doesn’t take all day, and you don’t have to quit your job to do this, but if you are consistent with it, they will develop a constant resistance in you to any form of worry and anxiety. Even though you may feed on the word, twice or thrice a day, the result is constant, and that resistance will build. You will sense yourself getting stronger in these areas, the areas that used to hunt you. We are not supposed to be hunted by the storms of life, and the past. This is because through God’s word, we can have His perfect peace.
