Peace!

Peace!

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 NIV

Just before Jesus went the way of the cross, He spent some time teaching his disciples lessons about the life they were going to experience when He leaves them. He told them categorically that the world will not love them; the world and the Word of God are parallel lines that can never meet, no matter how hard you try. Compromise is the only way the world and the Word will be comfortable together, and God tells us ahead of time that we cannot truly be His own if He cannot trust our hearts.

He brought peace when He came in human form, and leaves his peace with us. The world has no peace to give, or at best, it guarantees you some level of comfort at a very high price. What the world gives isn't peace, because true peace is only found in the One called the Prince of Peace. God does not treat us as the world does, where the world demands a price from me before it gives or secures anything for me. The world also gives you something and may take even something more precious from you. God wants me to have everything I need for life and Godliness, and that is why He has asked me to believe in Him totally and trust His power, wisdom and love.

If you are in God, let your heart be at rest. If  you are not in God, you are exposed to the inconsistencies that happen all around you. Fear and faith cannot exist in the same heart, so check your heart today. Does God hold the reins or is the fear of the unknown the reigning theme of your heart? Get into God today, and see Him take care of all that relates to you. He wants me to have the best He has on offer, and by complete trust in Him, I get access to all He is and have. His time of favour is here.
