“Let the peace of Christ rule in
your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be
thankful.”
“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.”
We know this life will cause us
heartache and we are never promised that it will be easy, but we have strength
from the knowledge that God is always in control. When life is tough, oftentimes
our tendency is to try to take control of the situation ourselves. When that
fails, we begin to worry, instead of putting our faith in God. However, when we
fix our eyes on God despite the storm around us, we can have peace. This peace
is not the knowledge that by trusting God we will not ever go through hardship
again. It is the knowledge that no matter what hardship we face, God is in
control. There are so many things in this world that cause us to worry, but
Jesus gave us His peace that passes all understanding.
