John 14:27 The Peace of God | Thrive Through Christ Ministries

^{27 “}Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.”
John 14:27

God loves us, and He longs for us to be at peace with Him and His ways.

In His Word, our heavenly Father reminds us of the many vessels He uses to bless us with peace…

Peace, in the eyes of the homeless when, as purpose driven volunteers, we serve them a hot meal.

Peace, in the joyful tears of a foster child after their first touch down.

Peace, in the eyes of a fellow believer.

At a time when uncertainty and anxiety rule the earth, peace has become a rare commodity.

Do Not Be Anxious

In the verse above, God tells us we should not let our hearts be troubled or be afraid.

Why does God warn us specifically about stress and fear?

For starters, stress (anxiety) and fear (panic) actually have a physical effect on our hearts, including heart palpitations.

These heart palpitations are the kind of heart reflexes that cause myocardial infarction (heart attacks).

Plus, when we feel anxious, our brains activates a fight or flight response which increases our heart rate.

Anxiety and fear are negative emotions that have no place in our lives.

In His Word, and through the people He places along our path, God gives us peace so our cups are full when we need an abundance of peace to overcome challenges in our lives.

^{11 “}For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.”
Jeremiah 29:11

God wants us to prosper and grow in our faith. He desires for us to be at peace with each other, at peace with Him and His will for us.

When we sense anxiety or stress try to get in our way, we should rely on the Holy Spirit to guide us through the fog, and lead us back into the light.

If God is with us, who can be against us?

No one can.

As soldiers of the risen Savior and ministers of the truth, Christians must maintain focus on the eternal promise made on the cross

His sacrifice, the price He paid, the blood from His veins poured into us as fuel for our vessels.

There is no room in our hearts for anxiety and fear. Only love, grace and mercy… 🙂
