----PEACE and TRUST~~

-"Peace I leave with
you; my peace I give
you. I do not give to
you as the world gives.
Do not let your hearts
be troubled and do not
be afraid."
--(John 14:27)

--When unexpected difficulties occur, the Bible reminds us that our best recourse is to place our trust in God. It was in a tumultuous time when invasion threatened his country that the prophet Isaiah, inspired by the Spirit, discerned this powerful promise from the Lord: "You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you" (ISA 26:3).

The peace our Savior gives us as we turn to Him "transcends all understanding" (PHIL. 4:7). I will never forget the words of a woman who was struggling with breast cancer. After a group from our church prayed for her one evening, she said, "I don't know what will happen, but I know that I'll be okay, because the Lord was here with us tonight."

-Life will have its difficulties, but our Savior, who loves us more than life, is greater than them all. ~~

"Lord, help me to trust in You so that I may live in peace."

-----JESUS IS OUR PEACE!
