Have you noticed that worry and fear and anxiety steal your energy, make you exhausted, and take over your emotions and thoughts?
God says through Isaiah 30:15, “In quietness and rest will be your strength.”
In other words, we sacrifice the peace of Christ when we choose to try to take control of our circumstances or figure out how our difficulties will all work out. We wrongly think at times we are in control. But in a broken world where we are subject to our own foolishness and sin as well as the chaos of the world and other sinful people, in quietness and rest in God is our strength.
When Jesus was going through the most stressful moments he had on earth, He said to his disciples, “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.”
“Wait on the Lord and you will gain new strength.” Isaiah
Today, my friends, live in His peace. Rest in His strength. Peace be yours, the Lord is near.
