The root of peace

Friends,

The sons of God have been given a unique gift. We have a blessed assurance that ...

• Our God is sovereign over all things
• Our God is truly good
• Therefore, what is happening around is ultimately and truly good.

This can be hard to see when circumstances are hard, when body and soul is suffering. But is an amazing state of grace ...

Mark 4:37-38a [NKJV]
And a great windstorm arose, and the waves beat into the boat, so that it was already filling. But He was in the stern, asleep on a pillow.

Christ Jesus lived the life of complete submission to the Father's will. He had no doubts ... none whatsoever ... that LORD God Almighty is in complete control and is perfectly good. Therefore, even though His physical life seemed in jeopardy, Jesus was at peace, knowing that what was happening would be good.

For you and I to live this way is a tremendous challenge. It cannot be done outside of the grace and power of Christ. Seek that power, friends, and live a life of perfect peace.

Be encouraged, Jose
