The word for today is -Peace !

Good morning,

The word for today is -Peace !

These things I have spoken to you, so that in Me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome the world,John 16:33. Sometimes we reach the critical point where we realize we need to just let go and let God have His way. We often forget who is really in control. Yes we have free will but when we make the decision to lean not to our own understanding, but to let God’s will be done rather than our own. Thats when things start happening, in our lives.  God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth should ( past away) change and though the mountains slip into the heart of the sea; though its waters roar and foam, though the mountains quake at its swelling pride. The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our stronghold.  Psalm 46:1-3,7. It is clear that today, as yesterday, one cannot have peace without God. However, there is a way for peace which God has made wonderfully simple. While the future is unknown as far as ordinary history is concerned, there is a way of peace provided for us through the Lord Jesus Christ. In that wonderful fifty-third chapter of Isaiah, our Lord Jesus Christ is pictured in His rejection and in His death by crucifixion as the Lamb of God sacrificed for us. In verse 5, it is written: “He was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.”  Thank you Jesus for your peace. Amen !
