Today's promise: God will give you peace
Where do you find peace?
"A child is born to us, a son is given to us. And the government will rest on his shoulders. These will be his royal titles: Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. His ever expanding, peaceful government will never end. He will rule forever with fairness and justice from the throne of his ancestor David. The passionate commitment of the Lord Almighty will guarantee this!"
Isaiah 9:6-7 NLT
You will keep in perfect peace all who trust in you, whose thoughts are fixed on you!
Isaiah 26:3 NLT
I am leaving you with a gift — peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give you isn't like the peace the world gives. So don't be troubled or afraid.
John 14:27 NLT
Peace is a person
"His peace of mind came not from building on the future but from resting in what he called "the holy Present."
C.S. Lewis on George Macdonald1
If you were navigating in strange waters or tracking through the wilderness, you would feel at peace with a competent navigator. As we move through spiritual territory that's frightening, new to us, or full of trouble, what a comfort and support to have the Lord God, creator of peace, walking with us. He knows the way!2
