The Way, The Truth, And The Life: A 12-Day Reading Planનમૂનો

Where You'll Find The Peace You're Looking For

Every day, we move from task to task, checking items off our ever-growing to-do lists. But no matter how much we check off, we can still feel overwhelmed and underqualified. This constant state of pressure leaves us anxious and exhausted.

In Psalm 27:4, David says, “One thing I ask from the Lord, this only do I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life.” He earnestly sought to be in God’s presence every single day because he knew only God could provide peace, protection, and provision in his life.

Only God can provide peace, protection, and provision.

An active and intimate relationship with Jesus was where David found peace, security, and tranquility. And God offers the same for us today.

By spending time in His presence through prayer, reading the Bible, and open and honest community with other Christians, we are inviting God to pour out His peace, protection, and provision into our lives. Putting Jesus first, not completing our to-do lists, is the only way to experience true peace and security (Matthew 6:33). 

Reflect: 

• Has the busyness of life been stealing the peace Jesus has for you? What’s one thing you can do today to make time to seek peace in His presence?
• Do you feel overwhelmed by the daily grind? Begin praying specifically about what overwhelms you. Ask for Jesus’ peace, provision, and protection in your life.
