In reviewing your day, either yesterday or today, when did you feel peace?
What brought you peace in those moments?
If you didn’t feel peace, that’s OK.
It’s easy to be at peace when things are going smoothly and it’s normal to feel peaceful at such times. However, when things aren’t going smoothly, we can easily lose our peace if our peace is based on what is happening.
Missionary to China, Hudson Taylor is credited with saying peace is not the absence of trouble but the presence of God.
In John 14:27 Jesus says to us.
“Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.”
What do you learn about peace from this reflection?
