Day 13 "Grace Has Brought You Peace"
Peace in His Presence
Good Morning Beauties!
“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)
At times we need an extra boost of inner security. The best way I know to find what my mind and heart are desperately longing for is in God’s presence. Only by His grace has He granted us such a privilege. In His presence we find a deep, meaningful, and unshakable peace that brings calm to anxious thoughts and feelings. We can find God’s promise in Philippians 4:6-7, “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” (NIV)
There is undeniable darkness in the world today. Most people I know are experiencing some from of anxiety, depression, and unrest in their soul. Do you find yourself in this place? What specifically are you struggling with right now? Will you bring it to Jesus and lay it at His feet? Will you trade your troubles for His peace? Selah.
I often find patterns in things. With the topic of grace and peace, I see a circle. It begins with hearing God’s Word which builds our faith, which builds our trust in a loving God, which allows us to believe fully in who He is, which leads to us receiving and understanding His grace, which brings us abundant peace. Then, with a sense of His peace that surpasses all understanding, we are drawn to the Word out of our desire to know God more. Can you see this circle? Are you living it now? Where does He have you on the circle and what do you need from Him to move to the next step? Selah.
Here’s a beautiful song which I know will be a blessing. Listen to it as a personal gift from Jesus.
