Give away this gift to all who will receive it-and oh what a difference it will make if only one life receives its benefits! You don’t have to look far for candidates: a single parent, the jobless, a confused child, a fearful parent, an addict, the sick or a lost soul. So, use the gift of peace that Jesus has given you as a platform to proclaim His truth. People in turmoil who engage with your peaceful demeanor, want to know more about what you know and have. Peace produces relational fruit that lasts.Ĭan the Prince of Peace be trusted to get you through this challenge with your child or this season of suffering? Yes, of course He can and He wants you to experience His peace so you can be an ambassador of peace for Almighty God. A home that is peaceful is a haven for family and for those who need a safe environment to feel secure and loved.
His peace of mind is assurance that we can move forward in a relationship or a new responsibility at work. God’s peace gives us confidence to follow Christ in ministry, domestically and globally. And we boast in the hope of the glory of God” (Romans 5:1-2). “Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. Why wait until death to make peace with God? Peace with God results in the peace of God.
When we exchange our agenda for His agenda-in total trust-we in turn receive the peace of God. In humble surrender and submission we unlock the control of our hearts to Christ and trust Him to give us what we need to follow Him and serve others. “When a man’s ways please the LORD, He makes even his enemies to be at peace with him” (Proverbs 16:7, NKJV).Īccessing the Lord’s peace begins by first making peace with Him. Where there is trust in the Lord there is rest from fighting the enemy.
Answers from above bring peace that’s within. Artificial peace restricts or rejects the peace of Almighty God, only to eventually come back and seek out what’s real.Īre you able to sleep peacefully at night? Do you have an assurance deep down in your soul that Christ is in control and can be trusted? If not, let loose of the idols of worry and pride- redirect your energies to eternal solutions. This caricature of peace prolongs pain and leads to long-term disappointment and disillusionment. It is temporary at best, as it comes in the form of materialism-a person-a pill-or a bottle. Trust in the LORD forever, for the LORD, the LORD himself, is the Rock eternal. You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you.
