It was so great to see you and your family this weekend! The word for this week is "peace". We have this promise in the New Testament in John 14:27 (I've included both the KJV and AMP here) and Philippians 4:6-7:
John 14:27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world gives, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. KJV
John 14:27 Peace I leave with you; My [own] peace I now give and bequeath to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid. [Stop allowing yourselves to be agitated and disturbed; and do not permit yourselves to be fearful and intimidated and cowardly and unsettled.] AMP
Philippians 4:6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. 7 And the peace of God, which passes all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. KJV
SHALOM
It is beyond our human capability of understanding how this peace that comes from God, and is a fruit of our born again human spirit (Galatians 5:22-23), can be present and powerful in the midst of the greatest tests and trials, but we have His Word on it that it is and will be! So, whenever you find yourself in stressful situations, remember that this forceful and powerful peace IS in you! My continued prayer for you and your family is that this peace that is so evident in your home right now will be such a witness and a testimony to all those who enter that they will be asking you about it! Here is Hillsong Worship with a song from their new "No Other Name" album called "All Things New":
Love and Shalom from the Swoveys!
