Dear child of God, let it be in your consciousness that you have God, who knows the end from the beginning. He is the Alpha and Omega. He has everything about your life well figured out, even though He hasn’t revealed everything about it to you yet. He wants you to believe that He will perfect everything concerning your life. Only walk faithfully in His ways.
Dear friend, the Bible says you must rest in the Lord and wait patiently for Him. In your waiting period, remain at peace, and the way to do that is to cease thinking about the successes of others. Do yourself a favour by praying earnestly for the peace of God to rule in your heart and mind (see Philippians 4:6-7). And don’t rush into things just to please others.
The hallmark of your life as a believer is godly peace. Why? Because Jesus has given His peace to you (see John 14:27). That means any matter that doesn’t harness the peace of Christ in you shouldn’t get your attention.
If you think the problems in your life will ever cease before you enjoy peace, you’re on an infinite wait period. Don’t do that! Enjoy God’s peace today, always being conscious of the truth that today is the day the Lord has made.
The Bible says in Ephesians 2:14 that Jesus Himself is your peace. But how true is this? In that same verse, it is written that Jesus broke down the wall of partition between man and God when He died to take away the sin of the world (see John 1:29). And that was signified when the curtain that separated the Holy of Holies from the Most Holy Place got torn apart (see Matthew 27:51).
In today’s fast-paced world, where stress, anxiety, and burnout often take centre stage, people are increasingly searching for sources of comfort, clarity, and peace. For many, the Bible has become more than just a religious text; it’s a timeless guide for navigating life’s emotional and mental challenges. Its messages of hope, love, forgiveness, and resilience offer not just spiritual nourishment, but emotional well-being too.
By reason of Jesus’ atonement for the sin of the world, He has taken away that which separated man from God, paving an accessible way for anybody to come closer to God without guilt or condemnation. That was even signalled when the veil in the Jewish temple between the holies and the most holy place was torn into two (see Matthew 27:51).
Partial trust in God brings partial results. However, complete surrender unlocks the fullness of His power in your life. He’s waiting in the secret place, ready to be not just a part of your life but your very foundation. Are you prepared to let go of every other foundation and make Him your only source? Today, take that step. Release those backup plans, lay down those false securities, and watch how God moves when He becomes your first and only choice.
To make every effort to live in peace with everyone is not just a biblical commandment; it is a way of bringing people together. Peace is, therefore, not merely the absence of conflict but an active choice you must make daily. It requires conscious effort, grace, and a willingness to forgive others without recording wrongs.
If you have anybody in your life constantly giving you problems and preventing you from enjoying God’s peace, it’s time to separate from the person. Maybe that person is a childhood friend whom you cherish so much. But hey, having peace is so worth it.
For the wicked people, God’s Word says there’s no peace for them. So, if they want to enjoy peace, they have to stop their evil deeds. And for that to also happen, they must be born again. Jesus still saves and loves people. Come to Him, and He will rewrite your story.
What if I tell you that the one you are afraid to approach because of something wrong you did actually long for you to come to him? That is God’s case now with humanity. Because Jesus has paid for your sin, you have peace with God. What the Almighty held against you has been borne by Christ on the cross. So you are justified.
