“God’s Peace”

Psalm 4:8

I will lie down in peace and sleep,

For You alone, O LORD, will keep me safe.  (NLT)

     There is no better way to live this difficult life than turning it over to the Lord our God and trusting Him to guide you in all circumstances.  We were not created with enough ability to deal with and overcome every circumstance that is put before us, especially those circumstances that are beyond our control.   Humbly admitting that we are not in control is never an easy thing for most people, because we like to think we are in control even when we are not.  And when all that we know how to do fails, we tend to lose hope and at the end of our frustrating day we cannot sleep.  And when we cannot sleep our health will fail, which causes anxiety and depression to set in.  When we give our lives to the Lord, we are asking Him to personally guide us through our life-journey and we learn to trust Him, for He is our life-line to better living in this world and in the next perfect one.

      It was only after I turned my decaying life over to God that I was able to get up in the morning without dreading the days outcome, because I knew that no matter what the day brought, that the Lord would be with me and my life was safely in His hands.  When we rely on the Author of Life to guide us through all of our circumstances, it will lighten the burdens we bear so we can move through the day with confidence. And at the end of our day we are able to sleep in peace knowing that the Lord is watching over us.  But even though we are safely in God’s hands, life in this fallen world will continue to be hard and unpredictable until He takes us Home.  The greatest Hope we have, whether we wake up to face another day or not, is that we will be in the presence of the Living God when we awaken.

                                    A Whisper of Hope

Rely on Me in faith, My child... so you can travel your life-journey safely in My hands.  This day was graciously given to you.  Rejoice in it, refusing to worry about what lies ahead.  Pray in faith and I will keep you safe.

Philippians 4:7

And the peace of God which surpasses all comprehension,

will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.  (NASB)

     Now may the Lord of peace Himself continually 

            grant you peace in every circumstance.

                        (2 Thessalonians 3:16)
