Thankful Thursday - PEACE

John 14:27 (Amplified® Bible) 


"Peace I leave with you; My [own] peace I now give {and} bequeath to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid. [Stop allowing yourselves to be agitated and disturbed; and do not permit yourselves to be fearful and intimidated and cowardly and unsettled.]"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I love the amplified version of this particular verse, it says very clearly to us that we should stop worrying about everything. So today I am thankful that even in the midst of changes and needs and a lot of things to worry about. God has given us His own PEACE and guess what? God's PEACE is a deep, spiritual peace unaffected by the world. Praise HIM for that!!

I have needs, I have bills to settle, debts to pay, health concerns, decisions to make but I have God's PEACE.

You are right. There are so many things that can worry us, but knowing Jesus and His peace can quiet us down in the storm.

Thank you for sharing your grateful heart with us today.

A lot of people are praying for my husband and I. That has translated into peace. I am so thankful we have our faith to sustain us through the trials of this life. I know you are, too. God bless!
P.s. the word verification is restr
(rester, rest-r) :) So I guess I'm a rester in the arms of the Lord.
