He has given you peace
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 NKJV
Jesus has given us His peace! Are there things in your life that are causing you unrest? Are there circumstances going on that are troubling your heart or causing you to be afraid! The answer to that worry and fear is found in this scripture right here.
First you have to realize, peace belongs to you. It’s already on the inside of you, you just need to learn how to walk in that. Jesus said it’s up to you whether or not your heart is troubled. So how do you keep your heart from being troubled? The answer is your focus.
What you focus on will directly impact your emotions and your heart. Are you focused on the problem? Or are you focused on the answer God has already given you? Will you choose to focus on the circumstances or the promises of God that way He will provide, He has healed you, He has given you His peace? What you focus on determines your level of peace. Here’s a list of the type of things you need to meditate on: Philippians 4:8-9
Take the promises of God and just think about them. When you’re tempted to worry, think on the scripture, continue to focus on it. I promise you, your life and your heart will change.
Be blessed and encouraged
John
