John 14:27
Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
Wonderful Wednesday morning to you all!
God has blessed us to see another day; may we acknowledge that it is truly HIS day and rejoice in it!!
The world is full of turmoil, and I would venture to say that there is a great shortage of peace among people today. However, the shortage is not among God's people, but among those who do not truly know the Prince of Peace.
Don't you just love gifts? I do. The verse above tells us that Jesus gave us something. He spoke the verse first to His disciples before His crucifixion (and resurrection), but His word did not stop with them. The peace Jesus told them He was giving to them, is still a gift that keeps giving today.
Peace. Peace. What a gift!!! In the middle of the world's troubles, and personal issues, etc., etc., we have a gift to hold within us every day. While others may be reeling and rocking under the effects of sin, we can be calm - all because of the gift of peace that Jesus gives.
This sweet chorus seems to be fitting as I bring today's spoonful to a close:
Peace, Peace, Wonderful Peace
by Warren D. Cornell
and W. George Cooper
Peace, peace
Wonderful peace
Coming down from the Father above
Sweep over my spirit forever I pray
In fathomless billows of love
Problems, questions, worries, and troubles are all around us but Jesus offers us peace... Wonderful Peace.... that's His whisper to us on this Wednesday!
God bless you... hope to see you tomorrow....
