“These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.”
John 16:33.
Have you ever been overwhelmed with worry about a thing, only to turn to Jesus and pour out your troubles at His feet, and receive peace that surrounds you and makes you feel immune or above whatever is going on?
If you have, then you know that when the Bible says that the peace of the Lord passes all understanding, the Bible wasn’t mincing words. If you have not, today is the day you find out that it is possible. It is possible to be safe and secure when harsh winds are blowing around you if you run into the arms of Jesus.
Your heart can be steady and calm, even in trouble, as long as you have turned all your anxieties and cares to Jesus. Now that you know it is possible, do not delay any longer. Seek the Lord, believe in His word, and rest in His arms. Ask the Holy Spirit to lead you into His all-encompassing peace. Tell Him to teach your heart to trust Him.
Charge: Each time there’s any occurrence of trouble, remember you have a safe place to run to. His name is Jesus.
