John 16:33 "I
have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you
will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world."
Matthew 9:2 Some
men brought to him a paralyzed man, lying on a mat. When Jesus saw their faith,
he said to the man, "Take heart, son; your sins are forgiven."
John 14:27 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.
John 15:18 "If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first.
Acts 14:22 strengthening the disciples and encouraging them to remain true to the faith. "We must go through many hardships to enter the kingdom of God," they said.

The peace that Jesus came to bring was not the peace of
appeasement, or the peace of compromise and conformity. It was a spiritual
peace. The world doesn’t give peace, for it doesn’t have any peace to give. It
fights for peace, it negotiates for peace, it maneuvers for peace, but there is
no ultimate peace in the world. But Jesus gives peace to those who put their
trust in Him. If you have received His peace, then you are in His camp. But if
you have rejected it, then you are against Him. His peace is available to
everyone who will receive it.
Prayer for the day: Deep
down I feel Your peace, Lord Jesus, and the storms of my life are abated.
