[The Glory Unveiled]
Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. [ John 14:27 KJV ]
Yesterday, we looked at how the hunger and thirst of so many people have led them into wayward behaviours and habits. But hunger or thirst is not a license to drink or eat just anything. No one eats poison because they are hungry neither do they drink concentrated acid for water. In today’s anchor verse, the Lord Jesus says He leaves His peace with us. But not the kind in the world, rather His kind, the one that takes away troubles and fear. In many people’s search for the peace they do not know, they bargain with the world for the “peace” it offers, drugs, pornography, theft, sexual abuses and promiscuities, and every other kinds of addictions and unhealthy habits there are. Their search for what could give them peace is not well defined as to direct their search. And so, many fetch for themselves all manner of evil habits and addictions that keep them farther in bondage and from peace than they ever had. A lack of knowledge of what they seek is the magnet that draws them deeper into the opposite island of their solutions. Are you looking for something that can offer peace but don’t know what exactly? The Lord Jesus shows you what it is—His peace. It’s the only all satisfying peace there is. This is not a religious cliche passed down through the church ages or a humbug of some secular ideals. It is the promise of a faithful Father to leave an inheritance of peace for all who have their being [believe] in Him. To many chronic addicts, their habits are just anxiety killers. People get hooked up on all sorts of habits because/(when) they are anxious. But the true killer of anxiety is peace. And not just any kind of peace but the peace that Jesus gives. If you’d receive that peace intentionally, anxiety and fear will be banished forever from your life with their attending evil habits. Every gift is to be received before the gift is activated. May you receive the gift of peace today and get an activation of freedom from the bully of evil habits.
Prayer_Bead: Prince of Peace, Thank you for the gift of peace given to me. I receive your peace into my heart and I live above fear and anxiety. In Jesus’ name.
Wisdom_Quote: The only missile that kills anxiety is the Jesus kind of peace.
