David Jeremiah Devotional October 2 2021 – God Is Good!: Peace

Theme For David Jeremiah Devotional October 2 2021 – God Is Good!: Peace

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.
John 14:27

Representing the United Nations’ goal of world peace is a nine-foot-tall bronze statue outside the U.N., “Let Us Beat Our Swords into Plowshares”—an image of a metalworker shaping a sword into a plow. The statue is based on the words of Isaiah 2:4 and Micah 4:3—prophecies of a future of peace when God’s righteousness rules on earth.

Sadly, the U.N. has failed to bring about world peace. While God’s kingdom of peace will be established one day, it is possible to have individual peace even when it is absent from the world. Prior to His leaving the earth, Jesus promised His disciples they could have peace—not the world’s peace, but God’s peace in their hearts and minds. Paul said it was possible to be anxious for nothing, gaining peace by committing our concerns to God in prayer and letting His peace guard our heart (Philippians 4:6-7).

Because God is good, He gives His people the gift of peace. If your heart is troubled today, receive God’s peace as you pray.

Faith that goes no further than the head can never bring peace to the heart.
John Blanchard
