We are living in a troubled world. There is no peace in this world, John 16:33 (KJV) These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.
We need the peace of God. The whole world lies in wickedness, 1 John 5:19 (KJV) And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness. The situation in the world is very harsh at the moment. The economic condition is not favourable in many nations. We are experiencing a terrible situation now. The world is full of troubles from every angle.
We need the peace of God. We need the peace of God to combat the many troubles in the world. When we have the peace of God, we will be at peace. There is no way we can be at peace without the peace of God. There is no peace in this world. There is no lasting and reliable comfort. What we see in the world is a deception. It is only in Jesus that we can find a lasting and comfortable peace.
How can we receive the peace of God?
To receive the peace of God, we must come to God. We must surrender all unto God. When we surrender to God, God will give us peace that surpasses all understanding.
Philippians 4:7 (KJV) And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
When we commit everything into God’s hand, we will have true peace. The peace of God will guard our hearts and minds.
