“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.” John 14:27
Nothing upsets God! He is unflappable showing calmness in any crisis or storm.
Look at Jesus! He was ridiculed and insulted. His enemies were intent on killing Him. The Israelites, His own people, did not believe Him.
He was tempted by Satan three times but stood on the Word of God and did not falter or lose faith in God.
He was crucified for His beliefs but was obedient to His Father to the end.
This unflappable nature of God is a gift to you and can be redeemed by your faith in almighty God. You and I live in a world which is not under the authority of God. The arrows from the enemy can come to you at any time and when you least expect it.
There is no sustaining peace in the world. Jesus taught that you will experience trials and tribulations in the world but He offers you a peace that surpasses all understanding. You can be standing in the middle of a violent storm or facing a life ending crisis and be filled with the peace and joy of God.
This unflappable nature comes from the Father of Lights and belongs to Him. He is just sharing Himself with you.
He is filling you with His peace and strength to enable you to meet any challenge in life. These are the same attributes of God that Jesus experienced while dying on the cross.
When you come face to face with the Living God you will experience His greatness and glory and nothing will be able to shake you.
You can be as confident as God Himself when you believe He who is within you is greater than he who is in the world.
Thought for the day:
“I came into the world as a human being just like you. I have experienced all of your feelings and I can identify with you. I lived through rejection and denial from My own people and suffered greatly. My Father raised Me from the dead and I want to share My resurrected life with you. Come live with Me. Your life will never be the same!”
