"Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid." - John 14:27
"You will keep in perfect peace him whose mind is steadfast, because he trusts in You. Trust in the Lord forever, for the Lord, the Lord, is the Rock eternal." - Isaiah 26:3-4
Sermon notes: In it's highest form, Peace is equal to the Hebrew concept of shalom--wellbeing, wholeness, integration, reconciliation. Peace is everything existing at its higher purpose ...
At the moment, these verses spoke against the general confusion and tiredness I was feeling. This peace is what Christ offers, always, no matter our circumstances and despite our sinful nature, because He is our Rescuer and changes all of that...
Psalm 37, The words COMMIT and TRUST stood out to me while reading this, and the bolded portion too. Wow. I feel like these verses just speak volumes.
Trust in the Lord and do good; dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture. Delight yourself in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the Lord; trust in Him and He will do this; He will make your righteousness shine like the dawn, the justice of your cause like the noonday sun. Be still for the Lord and wait for Him patiently. - Psalm 37: 3-7
