Dear Young Christian:
Maybe your thoughts are all in a turmoil as you face another week in a world of sin, sorrow, problems, and certainly opposition to Christ and His followers. Just remember that before the Lord left His disciples in a hostile world He said, “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). Later on the Apostle Paul wrote, “Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:6-7).
With these verses in mind you can start the week with the same peace that the Lord had when He walked through this world, and the same peace that Paul and the Christians in Philippi experienced hundreds of years ago. That peace is still available and is still as real as ever. Enjoy it!
Your Christian Friend,
Jim Hyland
