Perfect Peace in a Chaotic World

By: Drea Frost

Perfect Peace: Myth or Reality?

Is it really possible to live and exist in perfect peace in an ever-increasing chaotic world?

Can God provide the peace I need to get good, consistent, nightly rest?

Is He able to give peace when my household is completely torn apart?

What about when I lose my dream job? Can He still give peace when I’m not sure where the money will come from?

Teammates, the answer is – YES!

Allow me to be completely transparent for a moment; there have been numerous times that I did not allow the peace of God to calm my fears and anxiety. There were certainly times that I thought I needed to figure stuff out before I benefited from the peace of God. I did not allow true peace to overrule the overwhelmingly loud volume of the world. The truth is that He doesn’t require us to figure it out, He requires us to trust Him!

Is Your Heart Troubled?

perfect peaceDo you allow life to trouble you (John 14:1)? Do you feel increasingly overwhelmed by what you see and hear going on in the world?

Jesus lets us in on His plan to leave His peace with us. A matter of fact, He wants to give it to us, freely! “Peace I leave with you; My peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your heart be troubled.” John 14:27

Who wouldn’t want God’s peace? He says that He will freely give us His peace. His peace is uninterrupted by life’s circumstances, it cannot be disturbed. The peace of God is constant through whatever you face!

So, what’s the play call?

It’s our responsibility to not allow our hearts and minds to be troubled or anxious. Our Playbook tells us to be anxious for absolutely nothing! (Philippians 4:6-7)

Be thankful! Thanksgiving and gratefulness keep our hearts light and our minds free of negative thinking! Allow God’s freely-given peace to guard your heart and mind. You were not created to carry such heavy, consuming loads. Let Christ/Daddy get that for you!

Decide today to become relentless in your pursuit of peace! Settle your thoughts on God and how powerful He truly is, instead of continuously thinking of how bad it may be for you at this present time. Our God is so great and so mighty, please don’t limit or underestimate His power in your life. Take the limits off!

“You will keep in perfect peace all who trust in You, all whose thoughts are fixed on You.” (Isaiah 26:3 NLT) That’s a promise!

Much Love,
Drea

They Changed Their Minds about Slavery and Left a Bible Record

CT 0
Two businessmen’s unusual conversion in 1700s South Carolina led them to liberate the people they put in bondage. At first glance, William Turpin and his business partner, Thomas Wadsworth, appeared to be like most other prestigious and powerful white men in late 18th-century South Carolina. They were successful Charleston merchants, had business interests across the state, got involved in state politics, and enslaved numerous human beings. Nothing about them seemed out of the ordinary. But, quietly, these two men changed their minds about slavery. They became committed abolitionists and worked to free dozens of enslaved people across South Carolina. When most wealthy, white Carolinians were increasingly committed to slavery and defending it as a Christian institution, Turpin and Wadsworth were compelled by their convictions to break the shackles they had placed on dozens of men and women. In an era when the Bible was edited so that enslaved people wouldn’t get the idea that God cared about their freedom, Turpin left a secret record of emancipation in a copy of the Scriptures, which is now in the South Carolina State Museum. Perhaps it’s not surprising that this story of faith and freedom is mostly unknown. The two men were, after all, working not to attract attention. Neither had deep roots in Charleston or close familial ties to its storied white “planter” dynasties. Turpin’s family was originally from Rhode Island, and Wadsworth was a native of Massachusetts who moved to South Carolina only shortly after the American Revolution. Both had public careers and served in the South Carolina Legislature, but their political profiles were not particularly high. Neither of them appeared to give any of their legislative colleagues the sense that they were developing strong, countercultural opinions on one of the most ...Continue reading...
