Peace in a Person

Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes?

(Matthew 6:25)


This world is not like it used to be! I can remember a bit from my childhood . . . sports, school, family . . . but never worrying about food, crime, the future. Oh, there were days when I wanted my special food and did not get it. There were rare times of riots and threats of danger. I would overhear my dad talking about a car repair now and then. There were neighborhood fights . . . over football, baseball and other games!

But it does not compare to this day: this is a day of trusting God! Who else can possibly understand this economy . . . this job market . . . this world's troubles like God? World markets going bankrupt . . .unemployment and under-employment . . . folks working out of their skill level and working 2-3 jobs . . .threats of war, violence, and crime even the least threatening neighborhoods.

Who can we trust? Where can we move to for security? Where can our chldren go for safety? Like never before, we can trust the words of the apostle Paul.

Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

(Philippians 4:6-7)

Are you facing health issues, a shaky housing situation, too many bills at the end of the month? In every situation, take it to God . . .trust Him and do as He directs . . .and leave it with Him. He has the answers! You will find peace in a person . . . JESUS CHRIST!!!!
