Who's Peace Are You Resting in?
The world is very chaotic,fast paced and seemingly filled with instant gratification.We have been conditioned for the quick fix and so we expect for everything to happen instantly or we will quickly become stressed ,fall into a pit of despair or start having a anxiety attack.
When we think in terms of peace we try to look at it from the wrong perspective.Most times when we think of peace we think of it as being quiet,calm around you with no noise.But the real peace you seek can not come from this world.The world is filled with too much confusion and too many distractions. The peace you need and should be seeking can only come from God.To endure in this world God's peace is required.
In the book of 1 Thessalonians 5 and 3 it reads,"While people are saying, “Peace and safety,” destruction will come on them suddenly, as labor pains on a pregnant woman, and they will not escape.
God 's peace is just what you need Isaiah 26:3 says,"3 You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you.
What you really trust in you will lean on. So what and who are you trusting in for your peace?Your friends,family,husband,wife,children,job,community,president,mayor govenor,etc.Real peace, the kind you NEED can only come from that true source which knows you well and can position you so you can receive and walk in peace.
The scripture reminds me that I must stay in line with a sound relationship with Jesus Christ because he is the source that I can feed from and become strong and and more fruitful. John 14:26 reads~"26 But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you. 27 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.
Examine where you are and whats going on in your life and be honest with yourself, and ask ,"Who's Peace Are You Resting in?"
