There is so much turbulence in the world today with wars and rumors of wars, terrorism, and rioting. Our once united country is divided on so many fronts that there seems to be no answer to our troubles. Yet when disaster strikes Americans tend to drop their petty disagreements and pull together.
I find ways to live in peace in the midst of turmoil. I focus on the positive things in my life and the hope that is within me arising from my faith in God. I know that He will be with me no matter what comes my way. This peace He gives is beyond explanation. In times when I should be worried or afraid He calms my fears and assures me that I will be alright.
The peace that comes from God is a gift to us. The world cannot give us this peace. It comes only from Him. Seek God with all your heart and He will bring you peace in the midst of turmoil.
John 14:27 (NLT) - “I am leaving you with a gift—peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give. So don’t be troubled or afraid.”
