God's Promises Of Peace

Jesus made it clear that being a follower of His didn’t mean prosperity and rest all the time. He constantly encouraged His disciples to look at life with a different set of eyes.

John 16:33 - I have told you all this so that you may have peace in Me. Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world.

You can take comfort in Jesus’ words. Your circumstances may not be pleasant or easy and you won’t find the peace you need in any circumstances. Only in HIM, “peace in ME” is where it is found.

If you are in Him and He is in you, overcoming your trials and sorrows in this world is possible, through HIM. This is great news for you TODAY!

Take time out today to bask in these verses from Psalms and Proverbs:

Proverbs 16:7 - When the ways of people please the LORD, He makes even their enemies live at peace with them.

Psalm 119:165 - Those who love your law have great peace and do not stumble.

Psalm 29:11 - The LORD gives his people strength. The LORD blesses them with peace.

Psalm 37:37 - Look at those who are honest and good, for a wonderful future lies before those who love peace.
