“These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.” John 16:33
As a believer, the most important thing you can do is to be centered in your Creator. He is your only hope for an abundant life and the peace of God.
You will never find peace in the world because the world does not operate under the axis of God. The world is an enemy to a believer.
The world will bring many troubles because Satan is at work to steal, kill, and destroy. The world is filled with evil, lust, and greed. You cannot avoid these influences as they are rampant and have infiltrated every phase of the community of life.
Jesus has promised that you can have the peace that passes understanding through Him. Jesus can make this promise because He has overcome the world.
The act of Jesus dying on the cross offers you eternal life and the full embodiment of the life of Jesus.
“He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.” The peace of Jesus lives in you through the Holy Spirit and can be claimed by faith in the Son of God.
You have to approach life like you are living in a swirling storm and stay centered in God through praise, prayer and His Living Word. Live in oneness with Jesus through the Holy Spirit and be still and listen for His voice.
God woke me up this morning speaking this biblical principle; “In Him we live and move and have our being.” This is the secret of living with the peace of Jesus.
