LET THE PEACE OF GOD RULE YOUR HEART

 

Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.    

                                        ( JOHN 14:27)

God is peace, no man can manufacture peace. Just before Jesus left the earth. He promised to give mankind peace that cannot be given by the world. In a world full of wickedness, and tribulations, Jesus promised you and I sanity even in prevailing  circumstances.

The peace of God is best known in the midst of raging storms. While Jesus was on the boat with the disciples, there was a raging storm but Jesus never lost  his peace but rather put the storm to a still. Peace is not the absence of storm but rather calmness and stillness of the soul.

The first way to enjoy the peace of God is to set our eyes fixed on God. Fixing our gaze on Christ helps to lay aside every  weight of doubts, worries and anxiety ( Hebrew 12:1). In the scripture we were told of how Jesus often goes to seek God’s face because he knows beholding God is beholding the peace of God.

Trust is a custodian of any relationship. Relationship with God isn’t left out. For the Lord keeps in perfect peace those whose mind is fixed on him ( Isaiah 26:3). Trusting God completely, and trusting his heart helps to keep our mind.

Are you at a point where it seems you are overwhelmed?

Are you at a point where it seems you are losing it?

Let the peace of God rule your heart.
