(Jesus said): “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 (ESV)

If you want true peace, trust in the Lord.

Not in riches.

Not in human ability.

Not in circumstances.

Not in someone else’s judgments.

Not in your career.

Not in flawed logic.

Trust in God. Seek the Lord first. In all things. At all times. Abandon the arrogance of self reliance and humbly follow God through Jesus Christ.

Think about it: if God is God, then He is sovereign over all.

If God is God, He is Truth. He cannot lie.

If The Bible is God’s Word (and it is!, then it proclaims truth. It is utterly trustworthy because God is utterly trustworthy.

Do you want true peace? Trust in the Lord. Take Him at His Word. Realize He is control. He cannot make a mistake. He loves you, for He is Love.

He will see you through whatever you face.

Trust in the Lord with all your heart.

And rest in Jesus.

Shalom.
