John 14:27 (NKJV)

"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 16:33 (NKJV)

"These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world."

Matthew 11:28 - 30 (NKJV)

"Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light."

The world in which we live is most certainly not a rose garden and daily we are confronted with trials and tribulations that test our faith, but in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ we have His promise of daily peace and comfort, His promise of victory over the world and all of its wickedness, His promise of rest for the weary and hope of a better tomorrow, and His promise that His greatest joy is the presentation of us faultless before God at the completion of our earthly journey (Jude 24).

Abba Father we thank You for Your Son Jesus Christ, He is Your promise to us of victory over the world, He is our peace (1 John 5:4 & 5); it is in the name of our Lord and our Savior Christ Jesus that we pray. Amen.
