“Peace of Heart”

 John 14:27

“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.”  (NKJ)

     Because we live in a fallen world there will always be difficult days and devastating times when most believers will question God’s authority or motives, even when they believe He is sovereign over all things.  Whenever this cruel world deals us a crummy hand, I believe the devil is right there doing his best to convince us that God is either cheating us out of something we think we deserve,  or He is simply punishing us.  The devil is crafty and deceitful and always busy trying to belittle God in anyway he can.  And no matter where we may be in your faith walk with Christ, we will always be fighting against the evil forces that dominate this humanistic world, because this world and all who follow it are always ready to fight against the very fiber of God’s Divine Plan. 

     Until Jesus’ return there will always be difficult times when we find ourselves in situations that seem impossible to change no matter how much we trust God with our lives.  But one of the most valuable lesson I have learn in my faith walk with Christ, is that no matter how uncertain and fearful I am in my uncomfortable circumstances, when I read God’s Word and listen for His Voice, I always find the peace I need for my troubled heart. And in this peaceful state of mind, I always find the courage and hope to move forward in my faith and trust in Jesus to do what no one else can do.  All things are possible when we live in Christ Jesus our Lord God and Savior.  Who better is there than our Lord God, Jesus Christ?  Our Savior is the only One who can save us from our troubles and give us the true and lasting hope that gives us the peace of God—the very peace that our weary hearts and souls long for!

                                                 A Whisper of Hope

Let My Peace, dear child…bring comfort and healing to your wounded, skeptical heart.  Do not listen to any other voices but Mine.  I Am the Word of Life.  Let the truth of my words be written on your heart, because the dark forces of this broken world will never cease trying to lead you away from Me. 

Jeremiah 29:11

“For I know the plans I have for you,” says the LORD. 

“They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give

 you a future and a hope.  (NLT)

         You will keep in perfect peace all who trust in You,

                       whose thoughts are fixed on You.

                                      (Isaiah 26:3)
