Peace. Be Still….

Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid. John 14:27

First and foremost, each and every Christian must completely acknowledge is that the Holy Bible is truly the inspired and infallible, and uncompromising Word of God. Jesus says: you shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free. “ However, you first have to know what the truth is before the truth can start to work to set you free. This is probably the reason why David said we must meditate on the words of God (in the Bible) so we can find out what their true meaning is and how these truths can apply to us. Meditating on the Bible means to think truly about it, to chew on each word of each passage, to try and figure out what the meaning of the words is all about. God loves us so much but we can fall in love with him unless we know Him. God knows everything about each one of us (Psalm 139) but we do not know everything about Him or His Trinity. Friend if you really want to get to know God, you would read HIS Word.

The word of God is ever true. It tells us in Hosea that people perish due to ignorance and lack of knowledge. Renewing our minds daily with the word of God is the key to abolishing that ignorance. I don’t know about you but when I was a baby Christian, I noticed that all my troubles started with fear and my fears were the exact results of my ignorance when it comes to the word of God and what the word say about the situation I was facing. I finally realized that when we grab on to the Word of God during times of agitation, it would settle our hearts and calm our souls. Jesus commands to not be afraid for He gives us His peace. What other assurance do we need? Some situations are rough and others are plain and simple intolerable. I get that, but no matter the trials, remember that God is bigger. He is more powerful. He cannot fail and that victory is yours. Do not let you heart be troubled. Take refuge in the Word of God for it is life. When the Word of God acts, God acts. When the Word of God delivers, God delivers. When the Word of God heals, God heals. God and The Word are one. Hebrews 4:12-13 tells us three things that occur we read Word: “For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account.

God can see all things and nothing is hidden from His eyes, in front of His word and all issues in your issues (fears, doubt, pain, hurt, illness, disappointments) are wide open and the things you don’t even want to face are before him. Why would you fear? God loves you enough to have sent, Jesus Christ, His son to die for you and to replace your shortcomings and your dead areas with His resurrection power. Praise the Lord! You don’t have to fear another day. You don’t have to worry. It is going to be just fine. Read the word of God. Let it grow in your heart and mind and be blessed!

Praise the Lord!
