NOT As The World Gives (Original Work)

Good Morning Sabbath.......
Father Thank You for Your Rest. Thank You for Your Day. Please give us PEACE. In Yeshua Ha'Mashiach, Jesus Christ The Messiah's Name we pray. Amen.‭

• NOT As The World Gives

“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

Think about this: When is the last time you felt extremely relaxed, at peace, and thought to yourself, "thank goodness the world has given me peace?" You probably haven't. In fact, personally, I have never heard anything close to a statement like that. Why? Because the world just doesn't give peace. The world is busy, self-centered, and constantly working to bring our last breath from the first breath we take. Stress, mortgages, alimony, divorce, tuition, licensing fees, persecution, taxes, long hours of work, and traffic. These are just a few of the things the world brings.

When we look at it from this perspective, it is pretty clear why Our Savior and King says in verse 27 of the 14th chapter of John that He doesn't give "as the world gives." It's clear because the world just doesn't give peace. It gives stress.

Bless Our Father's Holy Name and Presence for True Peace through Our Messiah Yeshua, Jesus Christ. The Blessing of God, His Peace, and the ability to "be still" is one of the greatest gifts to His children He has bestowed upon us. It would not be prudent to ignore this because without the Peace that Christ Gives... our lives would be that much more chaotic, our lives would be shorter, and our "Light" would eventually turn to a flicker as the darkness and stress of this world eventually engulfed us. We are fortunate we don't have to go through life without His Peace and therefore we don't have hearts that are "troubled" and they don't have to "be afraid." God Almighty Himself Is On Our Side, and "If God Is For Us, Who Can Be Against Us (Romans 8:31?"

Today, this week, and this year, may we all take a moment to sit back, relax, be still, and thank Our God and Savior for The Peace He Gives. May we truly thank and praise Him that He doesn't gives as the world does. We don't deserve His Peace, we didn't earn His Peace, but because He Loves Us So Dearly, He Gave Us Peace Anyway... and abundantly.

Dear Father God, thank You so much for the gift of Your Peace and for sending us Your Greatest Gift, Your Son and Our King, to give us Peace in this chaotic and ever-so-busy world. Help us to cherish these of the many Blessings You Give, and also, so we may help bring others that same Peace, fill us with Your Goodness to Glorify Your Name. Father... Your are Yahsome. Bless You. Thank You that you give Peace and NOT as the world gives. We Love You so very much. We ask these things in Your Perfect Son's Holy and Upright Name, Yeshua Ha'Mashiach, Jesus Christ Our King. Amen!

The Word of God... The Bringer and Prince of Peace:

“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.””
‭‭John‬ ‭16:33‬ ‭

“What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭8:31‬

“Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭46:10‬
