Confident in God’s Care
This week, we have looked at how to abide in P.E.A.C.E. when life is problematic.
P – Pray about everything (Phil 4:6)
E – Eyes fixed on Jesus (Heb. 12:2)
A – Assurance of His promises (2 Cor. 1:20)
C – Confident that He cares (1 Peter 5:7)
E – Ever lasting hope (Rom. 15:13)
Peace is not the absence of problems or hardships; it's what we experience when we abide, dwell, and stay in a deep, intimate, and ongoing relationship with Jesus Christ. Therefore, we are:
C - Confident in God’s Care
Even if you physically live by yourself, or your spouse is absent a lot physically or emotionally, you are not alone.
That's why 1 Peter 5:7 (NIV) is incredibly reassuring. "Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you."
Abiding peace is leaning in and choosing His care over our control. Thankfully there is:
E - Ever Lasting Hope
All week, I have carried a playlist in my spirt—from new praise songs, to remixes of older choruses, to anthems that boldly declare, “He’s Alive!” sung by David Phelps.
Thankfully, the peace Jesus Christ gives isn’t based on good or bad news. His abiding peace flows from ever lasting hope.
Therefore, “May the God of all hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in Him” (Romans 15:13 NIV).
Let the song in your heart today remind you of this truth: Jesus is unshakable, unwavering truth and everlasting hope.
