He is our Peace

Bible Text: Philippians 4:7

Peace is not necessarily the absence of war, as often stated.

Many people often battle with situations that do not seem surmountable. The trauma from the loss of a loved one, failed relationships and marriages, the collapse of a business, damages in a natural disaster, the list goes on and on.

These happenings steal our peace. Worry becomes the order of the day. Hope is lost and our situations to us seem bigger than anything ever.


In these situations, we need the peace that only God can provide. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:7)


This peace is what we need to reassure us that God is in control. Without this peace we ourselves cannot comfort others who need comfort. We have to tell the storm how big our God is. We should always remember that with Jesus in our boat, we will always smile at the storm.
He got up, rebuked the wind and said to the waves, “Quiet! Be still!” Then the wind died down and it was completely calm. (Mark 4:39)

Prayer: Lord Jesus, I commit my life in your hands. Master of the Universe, My eyes are fixed on you. Quiet down all storms that steal my peace.

And unto Him who is able to do exceedingly, abundantly, above all that we could ever ask or think, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever.

Amen!
