BE CALM! II

But now, thus says the Lord, who created you, O Jacob, And He who formed you, O Israel: “Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by your name; You are Mine.

Isaiah 43:1 NKJV

Beloved, with the world getting a little difficult to live in, are you having trouble staying calm in tribulations, are you struggling to keep your mind stayed on the Lord? In challenges, the key factor the enemy uses to destabilize us is fear, causing our minds to spin like a rat wheel with thoughtless thoughts. But, if we remain calm by keeping our minds on Him and not on our troubles, we will experience His peace.

The Lord said in John 14:27 NKJV,

“Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.” Notice that even though He has given us His peace.

He also said, “Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid”

Also, in the first verse of this same chapter, He said, “Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me.” (John 14:1 NKJV)

The Lord is telling us here how to receive His kind of peace. That is, not to saturate our heart with our troubles, rather saturate it with His knowledge. He has already given us His peace, our duty is to control our hearts. Proverbs 4:23 NKJV says, “Keep your heart with all diligence, For out of it spring the issues of life.” That is to keep our minds stayed on His words and grow in His knowledge, and not on our troubles, then peace will manifest in our lives. Isaiah 26:3 NKJV says, “ You will keep him in perfect peace, Whose mind is stayed on You, Because he trusts in You.”

Be calm and enjoy His peace

WE PRAY FOR THE GRACE TO BE CALM IN TRIBULATIONS SO AS TO EXPERIENCE AND TESTIFY TO HIS WORKING POWER IN OUR LIVES IN JESUS NAME AMEN!

THANK YOU JESUS!
