John 14:27 Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
There was a painting competition where the artists were asked to paint a picture depicting peace. The competitors painted the usual pictures of tranquil scenes, beautiful landscapes, etc. but the picture which won the competition showed a fierce storm. With gale force winds, thunder and lightening flashing across the sky and torrential rain the artist had painted in the cleft of a rock, a small mother bird sheltering her babies under her wings, totally at peace safe from the storm.
When Jesus was about to leave this earth He told His disciples He was leaving them the gift of His peace. They had seen Him facing the fierce storms of life but in it all He had total peace, and it was that peace He was giving to his disciples and also to you and me. He wants us to not just know His peace, but to be at peace, just like the mother bird, as we shelter in the rock who is Jesus Himself. He is our Deliverer, our Strong Tower.
The Lord knows the storms of life we’re facing, but He doesn’t want us to go through them fearful and troubled, but with His peace, because He is the Prince of Peace and He is with and in us. He is Emmanuel, God with us and if God be for us, and He is, then who or what can be against us - no one. He has a strong hold of our hand, strengthening and upholding us.😊
I keep getting in my spirit recently that God is not just taking us through but He is bringing us out. He wants you to know that whatever situation you are facing He wants you to receive His peace, and be at peace, confident in the fact that He has you in the palm of His hand and He is bringing you through and out safely.
His good plans for your life have not changed and you will fulfil them in Jesus Name. Amen.
Isaiah 26:3 You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You.
