True, Eternal Peace

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.

John 14:27

Today's Bible Reading: Ephesians 2:13-18.

Meaningless feelings or talk about peace will not bring it to the world. Peace is more than five little letters written or painted on to a piece of cloth or a placard, carried on a march or parade. True peace is not a mere cessation of hostilities, a momentary halt in the heat of war. Rather, true peace is something positive. It is a specific relationship with God into which a person is brought. It is a spiritual reality in a human heart which has come into vital contact with the infinite God. True peace, lasting peace is found only in a relationship with God, through His Son, Jesus Christ. It is a peace that remains when the world around us is falling apart, It is a peace that gives strength and calm in the storms of life. Do you have this peace in your heart today?

Prayer: Your everlasting peace Father God, transcends the promises of mankind. I thank You for Your Peace, found only in knowing the Lord Jesus. Amen.

Tired Tents

"We who are in this tent groan, being burdened,

not because we want to be unclothed,

but further clothed, that mortality may be swallowed up by life."

2 Corinthians 5:4

Today's Bible Reading: 2 Corinthians 4:16–5:5.

Though the awareness of our fragile human existence happens relatively early in life, we become more conscious of it as we age. Indeed, time picks our pockets. The vitality of youth surrenders reluctantly to the reality of ageing (see Ecclesiastes 12:1-7). Our bodies—our tents—get tired.

But tired tents need not equate to tired trust. Hope and heart need not fade as we age. “Therefore we do not lose heart,” the apostle says (2 Cor 4:16). The One who has made our bodies has made Himself at home there through His Spirit. And when this body can no longer serve us, we will have a dwelling not subject to breaks, aches, sickness and pain—we will “have a building from God, an eternal house in Heaven” (5:1).

Prayer: Father, thank You for Your continual presence. When I am physically uncomfortable, help me to trust You even as I anticipate an eternal dwelling that will last forever. In the name of Christ, I pray. Amen.

Seeing Our Need

"There is none who does good."

Psalm 53:1

Today's Bible Reading: Psalm 53.

We live like a little ant on this little speck of dust out in space. We get a Ph.D. degree and we strut across the stage of life and say, “Well, I do not know whether or not there is a God.” And we cannot even control ourselves. We cannot even keep from blowing ourselves apart. We cannot even keep from manufacturing nuclear weapons that could destroy the whole world. We cannot even keep from hating each other, and fighting with each other, making war on each other, and killing each other. We cannot even keep from stealing from each other. We cannot even keep from dying, because all of us are going to die one day. No wonder the Bible says, “The fool has said in his heart, There is no God,” because a man that would deny the existence of God is a fool..

Prayer: Almighty, and Eternal God, help me to live in such a way, that when I tell others of Your existence, they will be drawn to acknowledge and receive You. In Jesus name. Amen.
