Sometimes I read words that others have written that express what I want to say much better than I can. Today is such a day. I want to share with you from Grace for Each Moment the words of Solly Ozrovech regarding God's gift of peace.
Jesus promises peace to His followers. Often God's blessings and peace are all that we desire here on earth to help us in our everyday lives. The Lord does not want us to worry or lose hope because of things that are happening around us. That is why He promises to "bless His people with peace" (see Ps. 29:11). The Lord does not force His gifts upon us, but He is always ready to grant them when we are ready to receive them. If we ask for peace in prayer, then the Lord will bless us with His peace in our innermost being so that we may experience His peace here on earth.
Sometime in our daily struggles we forget the most important part, that is to ask. Ask God for peace. And His peace that transcends all understanding will guard our hearts and our minds in Christ Jesus (Phil. 4).
To God be the Glory! Amen.
