God Gives Peace

My soul clings to you; your right hand upholds me. (Psalm 63:8)

Last week, I handed my dad his Bible for the first time since his accident.  He thumbed through it and pointed to two verses.  This one above was like a sweet balm to my soul.  My dad was ministering to my heart.  He was sharing God’s Truth with me and reminding me that everything will be okay.  It amazes me that in his state with all his unanswered questions, he was concerned about me.  He wanted to make sure I remember God’s Truth will see me through this time.

I don’t know what you are facing right now, but I can promise you that God’s peace  is yours.  This world will offer you trouble many times more than you would wish to face, but God offers peace.  He promises that we can have peace in Jesus.  Come experience the peace of God!  Rest in His arms of love!  Find joy in His promises.  Please know that God will never forsake you.  He has a plan and will see you through even your darkest hour.

Dear Father God, Thank You for using my dad to point me right back to the Truth.  Thank You for using him to remind me that Jesus has overcome the world and all it’s trouble.  I can experience peace because my Redeemer lives.  Lord, please help me to walk in the peace that You offer.  Please sustain me by Your righteous right hand and remind me daily that You are in control!

Leaning on Jesus,
