John 14:27 ~ “Peace is what I leave with you; it is my own peace that I give you. I do not give it as the world does. Do not be worried and upset; do not be afraid." (GNT)
There are times when my mind is so full of….stuff. Not having enough money to pay the bills. Going to a job everyday knowing that’s not my purpose, but going anyway because we need to money. Trying to be the best wife and mother that I can be, and still coming up short at times. Wanting and trying to be everything that God has called me to be and still maintain a reasonable portion of sanity. It’s so chaotic, a whirlwind of “what ifs” and “if only”. Just as I was about to go down the road that leads to the party for people who pity themselves, God allowed me to come across this verse. Today I want to remind you, AND me, that God has given us peace, HIS peace. It’s not like anything in this world, it’s perfect. And, He will keep us in His perfect peace, as long as we keep our minds on Him. (Isaiah 26:3) The minute we look away, that’s when doubt, worry and fear creep in. Let’s stop focusing on the “stuff” so much and allow the peace of God to fill us while He works miracles on our behalf!
