Scripture Readings: John 14:27, Philippians 4:6-9
Key Verse: “Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.” John 14:27
DEVOTIONAL
Peace does not grow accidentally. It must be cultivated intentionally.
A heart ruled by peace is usually a heart that stays close to God consistently. Prayer, obedience, worship, forgiveness, gratitude, and meditation on God’s Word protect the atmosphere of the spirit.
Colossians 3:15 is followed immediately by another instruction: “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly.” Peace and the Word work together.
A neglected spiritual life produces a noisy inner life.
Many people want peace while feeding fear, offense, distraction, anxiety, and spiritual compromise daily. But peace flourishes where God is welcomed continually.
The more room God’s Word occupies in your heart, the more stable your spirit becomes.
Peace is not merely something God gives occasionally. It becomes the atmosphere of a life surrendered to Him.
