Peace Through uncertain times
It is human nature to worry and be anxious over things we can't control. Times can be uncertain and uneasy, but what can we do to find peace through it all? Let's explore a few scriptures we can use to find our peace in the face of tough times.
Romans 8:28 NKJV reads "And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose." This scripture reminds me that if we stay focused on loving and serving the Lord in all that we do, we can overcome any adversity.
Let's also explore James 1:2-4 NKJV, "My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing." Our father in heaven will always provide for us. It is easy to be concerned about our worldly wants and needs, but if you think about it deeply, hasn't our heavenly Father always taken care of your needs? He certainly has for me! And It would be safe to say he has for you as well.
In closing, Colossians 2:6-7 NKJV "As you therefore have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him, rooted and built up in Him and established in the faith, as you have been taught, abounding in it with thanksgiving." When we strive to be firmly "rooted" in Christ, that means we love and trust in him down to our core. And with that foundation, we can overcome any obstacles!
