EMPOWERING LIVES WITH PURPOSE:
Many of us have our focus on the world we live in and what is happening around the globe. We are wondering what others are experiencing only to hope that there will ever be “true peace” within our own land where we live. God tells us that the day of peace is coming.
“Who will not fear you, Lord, and glorify your name? For you alone are Holy. All nations will come and worship before You, for Your righteous deeds have been revealed.” (Revelation 15:4)
God has a plan for you where you are at this moment, in your country, and in your very own space within the place you live. Do not be afraid of what’s around you even if it looks like there may only be turmoil with lives spinning out of control.
“The Lord gives His people strength. The Lord blesses them with peace.” (Psalm 29:11)
God tells us in His word that we must always keep our eyes fixed upon Him and His Word even if we’re in a tailspin. Focus on Jesus. His Word is everlasting! Truth to illuminate our paths in times when the path looks dim without illumination. The light is there! You must look to see it.
“You will keep in perfect peace all who trust in You, all whose thoughts are fixed on You.” (Isaiah 26:3)
Please don’t let Jesus out of your sight and embrace Him. His instruction about worrying about the troubles of this world and what He teaches us are put into promises. And He tells us not to worry! Why? He has overcome the world.
Jesus says, “I am leaving you with a gift-peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give is a gift the world can not give. So don’t be troubled or afraid.” ( John 14:27)
Jesus is our light of the world even when we often see gloomy days with no sunshine happening everywhere we look, He shines brightly in our part of the world because WE ARE THERE. God is with us.
Remember, Jesus has overcome the world and true peace is found in Him. Give Him all your attention, He is there for YOU.
