“UNDERSTANDING will never bring you Peace. That’s why GOD has instructed you to trust in HIM, not in your understanding. Human beings have a voracious appetite for trying to figure things out, in order to gain a sense of mastery over their lives. But the world presents you with an endless series of problems. As soon as you master one set, another pops up to challenge you. The relief you had anticipated is short-lived. Soon your mind is gearing up again: searching for understanding (mastery), instead of seeking GOD (your Master). The wisest of all men, Solomon, could never think his way through to Peace. His vast understanding resulted in feelings of futility, rather than in fulfillment. Finally, he lost his way and succumbed to the will of his wives by worshiping idols. GOD’S Peace is not an elusive goal, hidden at the center of some complicated maze. Actually, you are always enveloped in Peace, which is inherent in GOD’S Presence. As you look to GOD, you gain awareness of this precious Peace.”
Scripture
Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight. PROVERBS 3 : 5 – 6
Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. ROMANS 5 : 1
Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times and in every way. The Lord be with all of you. 2 THESSALONIANS 3 : 16
Personal Note
PS: Earlier this week on social media I saw a friend’s post about many of the various political / world issues going on in today’s world and this “world news” is something that many people get wrapped up in or stressed out about. Today’s message should remind us that GOD has a plan for this world and ours is NOT to understand or judge or “fix it” but to have Faith that GOD has it well in hand on HIS terms. Relax in the Peace brought on by knowing the world is in GOD’S hands.
Prayer
Prayer: God thank you for your peace and your presence with me all the time. Help me to gain more awareness of your precious peace you freely give. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
