Scripture Jeremiah 29:11-13

A lot of people feel that God is up in Heaven, just waiting for them to slip up so He can pour His judgement upon them. Nothing could be further from the truth. Just as the thoughts that God had toward Israel were peace, His thoughts are the same toward us today.

God would love nothing more than to look down on this earth and see everyone loving each other. Sad to say, because of the sin that's in this world today, it's impossible. While there is sin, people will continue to hurt each other. But even in the midst of it all, we can still have peace. The secret to finding and having peace is found in verses 12 and 13.

When we call upon God and seek His face, we can have a personal relationship with Him, the only one who can give us true and lasting peace. Jesus said in John 14:27,"My peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you; let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid." What wonderful words. If we have the peace of God reigning in our hearts, we will have no need to be upset and worried, regardless of what is going on around us.

Do you have peace in your life today, or is your life in complete turmoil? Whatever you're going through, remember you too can have the peace of God in your heart. Just seek Him today.




True peace can be yours today
Regardless of what's going on.
Just look to God and pray
And trust in His precious Son
