But the “peace” that Jesus gives is the experience of a deep inner calm, rest & confidence that is untouched & unmoved by adversity, opposition, circumstances & persecution. Peace is not the absence of trouble but the presence of Christ.

Worry is sin because it denies the wisdom of God; it says that He doesn’t know what He’s doing. It denies the love of God; it says He does not care. And it denies the power of God; it says that He isn’t able to deliver me from whatever is causing me to worry.

Jesus promises peace to those who believe in Him. Even those who faith is weak at times. And Jesus promises victory to all who are His, because He has overcome the world. He promises wisdom & understanding to all who seek His truth. We all need it, because we still live in this world where there will be problems & difficulty for all who faithfully follow Christ.

Being a Christian is not about following the law or a set of rules. It is about following a person—Jesus Christ. He is there to forgive you when you fail, He is there to pick you up when you fall, and He is there to strengthen you for the journey ahead. He is there to give you rest for your soul.

Essential NOT Optional Ephesians 2:8-10, Hebrews 11;1, 2 CORINTHIANS 5:17

If your truly going to surrender your life to Jesus…then you got to get out of your own way … choosing to follow Jesus is the hardest thing you will ever do!

When life is hard, we are to remember that the Lord is our Strength. Those who don’t know David that well often picture him as a man of superhuman strength. He is spoken of as the young man who single-handedly slew the giant Goliath. The truth is that David was by no means strong in himself. The key to David’s strength and greatness was that he allowed the Lord to be his strength.

To consider the thought that my life knows no secrets from the penetrating eye of God may be unnerving. Yet I want to be known. I need to be known. I need God to shape my heart and renovate my spirit.

Man lives in terror of being exposed before God. He imagines that God has one intent, to destroy him. But the true design of the observation of God is to bring repentance and life. To be known of God may mean to be exposed to His wrath. Yet without it there is no redemption. The essence of redemption is understood in terms of being known of God.
