Peace

There is something about God that I think we do not understand to well. Now I know we will never grasp every concept or idea that God has, but there is one that we as Christians need to get a hold of and really understand. That is the "peace" He can bestow upon His children. even if we are in the darkest hour, deepest valley, in the middle of a storm, there can be a peace that surrounds us.

His Word tells us in Matthew 6:25 "not to worry about everyday life...". Well whether we like it or not life is always going to be there until He takes us and either brings us home or we spend eternity in hell (which that is another subject). Life is life and it always hits us right in the face. Everyday we wake up, every breath we take there is life. Another day means another worry or another issue we may have to face. The good news is we do not have to face it alone. There is a God...the only God who can give you "peace beyond understanding". Now I know that life is still there the problems are still going to be there, but now, through a relationship with God we can walk thru it not alone, but with Him. He says not to worry because He is in control and He already knows the outcome.

Jer. 29:11 says, "For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope." The main point of this passage is not the latter part but the very first 9 words. "For I KNOW THE PLANS I HAVE FOR YOU". As long as we are in the will of God and we are following the plan He has for us we need not worry about anything and we can truly be at peace about everything. Why? Because He is ultimately in control (when we let him)of our lives. When we give Him that control we can honestly and truly say we have that peace and we have no worries.

Do you worry about everything today? Let God have them and He promises He will give you a peace beyond understanding. Read the rest of Matthew 6 and see how much He loves you and cares for you.
