| My Peace |
| “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” (John 14:27). |
| There is nothing more peaceful in a troubled world than taking time out to sit quietly in the presence of the Lord, trusting Him, and feeling His presence, His love, and His everlasting arms of strength about you. |
| Someone has well said, “The best way to receive this gift of His peace is to stop in the midst of turmoil, and trust Him. Quietness and trust accomplish far more than can be imagined, not only in us, but around us.” |
| Spending quiet time alone with the Lord can be very difficult and requires discipline. This is especially true in this “activity addicted” age in which we live. It makes us look, or even feel, like we are doing nothing, when in fact we are doing the best thing that we can do. |
| Remember, “In quietness and in confidence shall be your strength” (Isaiah 30:15). So much does our Lord value this attitude that He says, “Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompense of reward” (Hebrews 10:35). |
