November 7, 2024 PEACE IN THE STORM
Isaiah 41:10 “Fear not, I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.”
1 Peter 5:7 “Casting all your anxieties on Him, because He cares for you.”
John 14:27 “Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.”
One thing that is certain in life is that storms, difficulties and trials come our way and they come in many different forms. No matter what difficult circumstances we face, Jesus is with us; He never leaves us or forsakes us. He will strengthen us and help us. When we know these things to be true and we embrace them, we have the peace of God even in the most difficult times. Jesus told us that we would have troubles in life-and was He right! Because God is our God, we do not have to be dismayed. When we are in the midst of the trial, He has promised to uphold us-what we face will not defeat us. God invites us to cast our anxieties/cares on Him, and He does so because He cares for us. To cast means “to throw upon and thus to deposit with.” By faith, let us cast our burdens, our anxieties and cares on Him and leave them with Him. That does not mean that we no longer care, but it means that the burden and the outcome is given to God. Not only does He get us through the trial, He gives us His peace during the trial-a peace that is unexplainable. Because of all that God has made available to us, we have the power to not let our hearts be troubled and the power to not be afraid. All of this may sound to good to be true to some; but it is indeed true and it is a part of our heritage in the Lord-for those who belong to Him. So, we do not have be alarmed or surprised when the trials come; when they do come, we can know that Jesus is with us and He will strengthen us and give us His peace during the storm.
John 16:33 “I have said these things to you, that in Me you have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.”
Isaiah 26:3 “You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in you.”
Philippians 4:6-7 “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your request be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”
