How To Have The Peace Of God

Christmas Day is over. The excitement has settled down. The stress of the holiday season is over. At least for the most part since there is still the New Year that people look forward to as well. And until that is over, the kids are home from school.

What ever you are feeling, whether still stressful or relief, Jesus is not just the reason for the Christmas Season. He is the reason for every season. We can find rest in him for our weary bodies. For our weary minds.

If we bother to sit down and take the time to find it.

Remember the quote, "Wise men still seek him." It is for for every day of the year.
55:6 When we meet with Jesus everyday, we can expect to find him and the rest he promises to us. As a start I give you a couple of those promises to think on for this moment.


I said, "Oh that I had the wings of a dove! I would fly away and be at rest." Psalm 55:6

 Come to me all you that are weary and burdened and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. My yoke is easy and my burden is light. Mathew 11:28-30.


In peace I will lie down and sleep. For you alone Lord, make me dwell in safety. Psalm 4:8

The Lord replied, "My presence will go with you and I will give you rest." Exodus 33:14

You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you. Isaiah 26:3

I have told you these things so that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.  John 16:33



Have you ever wished you could have the wings of a dove, or even a butterfly so that you could just fly away and shake the troubles off them? I think most of the human race has felt that way at some time or another.

Well, we don't have the wings of the doves or butterflies. But we have something so much better. We have (or can have) the promises of God that gives us that peace when we trust in him. But to have that, we must know Jesus first. And then, we must learn from him and spend time with him. That is the secret to shaking the troubles of this world off our minds. And how much better is that?

If you don't know Jesus, you can today. You can right now. Just pray this following prayer. It doesn't matter where you are, or what you are doing. God will hear you, if you sincerely want Jesus in your life today.

God loves you and may his blessing be in your life today and always! Until next time...
