WELCOME TO GOD FOCUS THIS MORNING

The title of today’s episode: JESUS GIVES PEACE

Another basic area of our faith foundation is peace. God is the God of peace. The older I get, the more important my peace becomes. Some thrive on drama, our world is full of chaos. Take one look at reality TV, and you will see the agenda of the enemy. Satan wants everyone to believe that life should be about throwing fits and having drama. This doesn’t sound like an abundant life.

Hebrews 12:14 Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:

We are to seek the peaceful route, even with difficult people.  If we don’t walk in peace and holiness, we will not see the Lord. It doesn’t matter what they say or do; we can only control our actions. It is not always easy to take the high road and walk in peace. But finding a balance in life will keep our feet on the right path.

John 14:27 The Lord lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace. These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.

Jesus said that we would have tribulations in this world. Tribulation means a time of great trouble, distress or suffering resulting from oppression or persecution. But he has made a way for us to live in peace.

We have peace; Jesus gave it to us. There is no reason for us to lack peace if we are followers of Christ. With so much happening in our world, sometimes we have to fight for peace.

The enemy would love nothing more than to steal our peace. He will cause all sorts of things to happen. That is when we have to take a deep breath and turn our stress, anxiety and issues over to God. He will give us the peace we need.

There are many things the world does to find peace. Some do deep breathing and meditation. They tell you to look within. But I am telling you to look up. True peace only comes from a relationship with God. He is the giver of peace.  

Is 26:3 Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.

Even in troubles and trials, our souls can have peace. We just have to keep our focus on God. When we keep our minds on him and allow him to have our worries and cares, we can walk in peace even when our world is in chaos. The enemy will not win or wear us down, as long as we can surrender our cares to Jesus.

 Phil 4:6-7 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. 7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

If we are not anxious about things, but turn them over to God in prayer. He will give us peace in return for our worries. Verse seven says the peace of God goes beyond our understanding and that peace will keep our hearts and minds. Notice it is through Christ.

Phil 4:8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

This verse tells us what we should allow our minds to dwell on. If we can dwell on the good things, it will help us to walk in peace and be thankful for all Jesus has done for us.

Until next time,

BE BOLD, BE BRAVE AND KEEP YOUR GOD FOCUS
