As Jesus prepared for his transition to the cross he began preparing his disciples and praying over them. In the scriptures recorded in John 14:16-27 he told them that although he would be leaving, they would not be left hopeless because he would leave them with his peace and that the Heavenly Father would send the Holy Spirit so that they would not be left comfortless. Jesus’ words were true then and they are true today. He has not left us nor forsaken us for his peace abides with us.
Today's scripture reminds us that this peace which passes all understanding is generously poured out upon those who trust God. When we fret and worry about circumstances and allow the angst of life to distract us from our Provider, Jehovah Jireh, then we tell God that we don’t trust him, his ability to help us or his love to care for us. Show God that you do rely upon his sovereignty and that you trust in his holiness; do not give way to the anxieties that bombard you. Just relax and enjoy God’s peaceful promise. Trust God and watch as his peace washes over you like a flood.
Every day is a good day; it is up to us to make it a GREAT day! Be blessed! Rev. Dr. JoAnn
