Remember to read more from Brenda on her own blog Thursday's Word
Peace of mind is what we all seem to crave, want, and need. But, is it
possible to have peace in this world. This world in which we live is so
full of chaos, troubles, struggles, and at times it seems hopeless to
even think we can have such a thing as peace. What is peace? The
normal, non-warring condition of a nation. The normal freedom from civil
commotion and violence. State of mutual harmony between people.
So...it is normal for us to crave peace and to want peace in
our lives. Illusive means deceptive or unreal. Can we truly have peace
of mind in this world? "Yes" we can. But, we can only have this peace
and we can only find this peace in Jesus Christ. Peace is our legacy
given to us by Jesus himself. "Peace I leave with you, my peace I give
unto you." He is the PRINCE OF PEACE, and his gospel is the "gospel of
peace." Why?
Because he is the author. "In the world you shall have tribulation; but
these things have I spoken unto you, that in me you might have peace."
It is a fruit of the Spirit: "love, joy, peace." Our peace does not
come from what or who we are, but from what God has already done. How he
has justified us in response to our faith. How much we grow each time
we come through a trial. How we are more willing to share our testimony
when he has delivered us from out of our pit. How we are glad to raise
our hands in praise and lift our voices in thanksgiving when we remember
that only God could have brought us through.
