My peace I give unto you!! [ June 3, 2024 ]
My peace I give unto you!! [ June 3, 2024 ]
My peace I give unto you!!
Isaiah 26:3
He will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on Him.
Peace can be defined as being calm or the absence of war and conflict. The peace that Jesus gives is the kind that gives you calmness or self- control in the midst of war and chaos.
This is confirmed by the story of Jesus sleeping deeply and peacefully during a storm on the sea. The boat I believe was being tossed up and down by the waves and wind. Water was splashing into the boat and the discipline were probably shouting instructions at each other
Jesus was still fast asleep until they woke Him up. This is the biblical peace being described by the verse quoted above
Scripture also says in John 14:1-2 that
Let not your heart be troubled believe in God and believe also in me, I go and prepare a place for, I will come again…
Meaning we need not worry about anything, Jesus is preparing a place in heaven ( a place where there is eternal peace anf joy) for those who will accept the gift of salvation and live to please Him
John 14:27
Peace I give unto you, not as the world gives , give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled neither let it be afraid
In this verse from the new testament, Jesus is assuring the disciples and all Christians that He has already given us His peace
All we have to do is to continue to trust Him.
God be with you
How can I apply the word to my life?
1. Trust in God and do what is right
Song for meditation
Let this song be your confession and prayer
My peace I give unto you
It’s the peace that the world cannot give
It’s the peace that the world cannot understand
Peace to know
Peace to live
My peace, I give unto you
Amen
