John 14:27 (NKJV) 27 Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
There’s a lot of stuff happening in the world around us. Sometimes those things can cause us to get distracted from our relationship with God. They can even cause us to begin to question Him or feel uneasy, because maybe we don’t understand it all.
It’s important that we not let the things that are happening distract us from our walk with God or lose our peace. Because sometimes we can get so focused on the things that trouble us, our walk with God can suffer.
We need to remember that our peace doesn’t come from the world or from our ability to understand everything with our intellect. And we also need to remember that as we draw near to God, He will draw near to us. And, in turn, our walk and our relationship will grow stronger and our peace will grow as that relationship grows!
And, as our relationship grows, these other things will become less of a distraction and will no longer cause us to question God about so many things.
It’s not wrong to have questions. But we need to understand that sometimes there will be no concrete answers that satisfy our intellect. So we need to learn to hear God and seek understanding by His spirit.
And when we do that, we will have God’s peace; the peace that surpasses understanding.
Philippians 4:6-7 (NKJV) 7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
