Bible Verse of The Day – 8-18-21

John 14:27 (NKJV) 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 heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

Peace may be in short supply for some, as we all face various trials and tests.

Sometimes it may even feel hard to catch your breath.

We are here to tell you today that the peace you seek lies in one source; God Himself.

No person and no physical thing can give you the peace that God can give us.

To some this may sound cliché. To others it may sound like religious babble.

But it is, in fact, cold, hard truth.

For those of us who have walked through many difficult times that have been thrown at us by life, if we have held fast to God, we can testify to the fact that there is no peace like the peace of God.

Philippians 4:6-7 (NKJV) 6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; 7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

So, if your life is upside down and you’re struggling just to stay standing, hold fast to God.

Let Him hold you up and walk you through whatever you’re facing. Let Him put solid ground beneath your feet again. And let Him bring you out the other side with His victory.

Don’t bow to the enemy and let Him steal your joy. Bow, instead, before the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. And cling to Him.

Trials and tribulations will not claim victory in your life. Evil will not prevail.

Revelation 17:14 (NKJV) 14 These will make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb will overcome them, for He is Lord of lords and King of kings; and those who are with Him are called, chosen, and faithful.”

So, if we’re “with Him”, we also cannot lose. We cannot be defeated.

Lift your eyes and fix them upon Him, the King of kings and Lord of lords. And let Him give you His peace.

Amen
