Peace Like a River

Peace like a River

Are you facing uncontrollable circumstances?   Are you intimidated by others?  Are you weighed down with fear or guilt?  Are you nervous, agitated and disturbed within?   Do you resent those who are happy?

I ask you this question…Have you truly ever embraced the security and love of God’s Grace?

You see…Jesus intends for those who love and follow HIM to live in peace, regardless of how crazy the world may be around you!  Yes indeed the road of life may be rough at times, but one must learn to dodge those deep pot-holes in the road!  Despite what may be going on around us, God’s message simply is this—“STOP trying to make things happen. STOP comparing yourself to others and STOP allowing yourself to be anxious, worried, and upset about things you can’t change!!  This is what the Word says…

Why, my soul, are you downcast?  Why so disturbed within me?  Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise Him, my Savior and my God.  (Psalm 42:5)

In other words this is clearly saying—Look to Jesus!  Put ALL your Hope and trust in the Lord and “WAIT…expectantly” for Him to help!  And while you wait…get your mind off your troubles and”Praise Him”!!!

You will find that if you practice this, then God is so faithful to help you to embrace the wonder of HIS amazing love and give you peace that passes all understanding!  He will even give you faith and confidence to face all your tomorrows!

So the next time you feel troubled and afraid and begin to worry and fret…Remember, God has your best at heart!  So be quick to ask for HIS help!  You will find His Perfect Peace freely flows like a river to all those who love & trust HIM and call upon His Name!

“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 troubled and do not be afraid.” (John 14:27)

“And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus”.  (Philippians 4:7)

“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” (John 16:33)
