Christ Jesus, before being lifted up to heaven, gave us one of His last and best gifts when He gave us His peace. Nothing and nobody can give us the kind of peace that Jesus can.
Let’s first give a definition of peace. A biblical definition in the Strong’s Concordance in the Greek vernacular is #1515 eirḗnē (from eirō, and means “to join, tie together into a whole”) – properly, wholeness, i.e. when all essential parts are joined together; peace (God’s gift of wholeness). Basically it means…one, peace, quietness, rest.
The Apostle Paul encourages us to PRAY about our situation and to thank God anyhow, while we are in the situation and to be at peace as we give God the situation. If we sincerely turn our situations over to God and trust Him to work it out, then our hearts and minds will rest in the peace, quietness, and rest of Christ Jesus.
If we trust God with our situations, our hearts will not fear. We will not fear man, we will not fear the world, and we will not fear death. The peace of God will keep our hearts from pursuing worldly ambitions and the pride of life and which only leads to certain confusion and dissatisfaction. Of a truth, our satisfaction can only be filled as we yield our life, dreams, and ambitions to Christ Jesus.
The peace of God will keep our hearts from strife and contention and from the drama of life. Sometimes, it’s just best to walk away in order to keep the peace.
To experience real peace, God must take control of our minds, our hearts and our spirits. We don’t need to go to bed or get up the next morning worrying about the situation. We are to SURRENDER all to Jesus knowing that He is well able to fix our situations and circumstances. Of a truth, He may not come when we want Him, but He’s always on time.
To experience real peace, we must stand on God’s promises and commandments in His Word for our various situations. If our money is acting funny and our change is acting strange, His Word says that He shall supply all of our needs according to His riches in Christ Jesus. If we have money, but we love money more than God, we must obey His Word and not worship money which is idolatry. If we are in trouble, His Word says that He is our very present help in the time of trouble. If we are facing death or afraid to die, we know that if our names are written in the Lambs Book of Life, we will be with Christ in the Great Resurrection.
If you are experiencing anxiety due to the guilt and consciousness of sin in your life, you can be reassured that as you repent (turn away from sin), and as you accept Jesus as your personal Savior, you can be forgiven and experience the peace of God that passes all understanding.
Whatever our distress on the stormy sea called LIFE, we can find peace that Jesus is at the helm of the ship and is driving the rudder (steering wheel) on the storm tossed sea. Halleluia!
Jesus can and will speak to any storm in our lives with the beautiful and commanding words: PEACE BE STILL!
TURN ALL OF YOUR TROUBLES OVER TO CHRIST JESUS AND EXPERIENCE REAL PEACE!
PRAYER!
Father God, in heaven, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, we thank You for Your darling Son, Jesus Christ of Nazareth, Who died on the Cross for our sins. God we thank You that Jesus is well able to handle all of our burdens, our anxieties and our fears. And because of that, we can experience true peace…that peace which is seemingly unimaginable, unthinkable, and impossible. But we know that all things are possible with You, Papa God. We thank You for giving us Your peace in Jesus blessed name. Amen.

27 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)
6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. 7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. (Philipians 4:7-8)
