We Grow: A Journey of Drawing Closer to GodSample

Day 285 of 365

Micah 4 and 5 speak of a future where God’s peace will reign, where people will “beat their swords into plowshares” and no longer know war. This beautiful vision offers hope even in times of turmoil. Micah also prophesies about a ruler from Bethlehem who will bring salvation—fulfilled in Jesus Christ. In Acts 21, Paul faces resistance and misunderstanding in Jerusalem, yet he remains committed to his mission, trusting God’s purpose. The Holy Spirit gives us the peace to persevere and the strength to hope, even when life feels uncertain or challenging.

God’s promise of peace is not limited to an external end to conflict; it is an invitation to an inner peace that comes from trusting His sovereignty. The Spirit enables us to stand firm in this peace, guiding us to reflect Christ’s love, even in situations of misunderstanding or adversity. In our trials, we are reminded that God’s peace surpasses all understanding and is an anchor for our souls.

Today, invite the Holy Spirit to fill you with His peace. In moments of uncertainty or struggle, let His peace reassure you that God’s promises are unshakeable. May you live as a beacon of hope, reflecting the peace of Christ to those around you.
