Today’s Scripture: John 14:27, NIV– “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.”
Jesus promised to leave us His peace. Do you want to have the peace of the Son of God?
We often say we have peace but it is evident when we don’t, isn’t it? John 14 promises so many things; peace, a place prepared in heaven, the presence of Jesus in our lives, the instructions of Jesus, and the Helper. Jesus says His peace and His gifts are not given as the world gives. We are to receive our peace from Jesus instead of the world.
Like the world, we have a tendency to take back our promises and our peace. When Jesus gives, He gives forever. He also left for us the Helper, the Holy Spirit, which will remind us of all of Jesus’ words. In fact, these same scriptures promise that if we ask anything in Jesus’ name HE will do it.
Have you asked Jesus for HIS peace?
Today’s Prayer: Father, I am thanking You for the peace of Jesus given to me. Thank You LORD for giving Jesus to us so we can follow the way, the truth and the life of Jesus. Help me to grasp that Jesus is in You, You are in Him, and He is in me. LORD, I accept and trust in Jesus and His peace. Thank You for Your Holy Spirit who reminds us of all of Jesus’ words. Please use me to live in and to help spread Your peace. Amen
