” I’ve told you all this so that trusting me, you will be unshakable and assured, deeply at peace. In this godless world, you will continue to experience difficulties. But take heart! I’ve conquered the world.”
John 16:33 (MSG)
How can you have peace in the midst of storms? It’s only when you have information that guarantees you victory. In other words, FAITH is a product of KNOWLEDGE. Nomatter what’s happening around you, if you know that the Father is not only with you but is in you, you will be at peace. Being long faced because you are facing challenges is a testimony of your unbelief. If you indeed know that ALL THINGS ARE WORKING TOGETHER FOR YOUR GOOD, it doesn’t matter what happens. You will be unshakable, assured, and deeply at peace.
I don’t panic like the world because I am not of this world. John 3:31 says ” He that cometh from above is above all: he that is of the earth is earthly, and speaketh of the earth: he that cometh from heaven is above all.” I don’t speak or think ordinarily because I am from above. I don’t catch the flu, I kill it. If my heart were not beating right, instead of panicking, I would tell it to normalize. Those who panicked are without solutions, and Jesus did not panick at the news that Lazarus was dead . John 11:14 says, ” Then said Jesus unto them plainly, Lazarus is dead. 11:15 And I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, to the intent ye may believe; nevertheless let us go unto him.” The LORD JESUS was at peace, he said I am glad I was not there, he was not there glad that Lazarus died, God is not glad at the death of our loved ones but he is glad to be invited at those funerals and difficult times. God makes the crooked ways straight. Therefore, if something were to bend or break, it can be straightened in God. This is the reason we can have peace in all circumstances.
The fact that you don’t have money in your pocket does not justify your worry. Remember, at the word of Jesus, Peter brought money out of the fish’s mouth. God can feed you the whole year with the little you suppose you have. Don’t say I have nothing when you have a seed and God. Moses said I have a rod, though it looked insignificant. Relax in God, fear not, rejoice, and be glad. Miracles are wrought in an atmosphere of faith.
