Peace Is a Key to Victory - Helen Calder, Melbourne, Australia - Feb 10, 2025
Jesus said, "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). His peace brings order to our hearts and lives, even when storms rage around us. Yet at times it can feel so elusive.
If this resonates with you, be encouraged. God's peace is a powerful and personal gift that belongs to you.
The Boat, the Storm, and the Savior
"[A]nd the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus." (Philippians 4:7 NKJV)
One day, Jesus told His disciples to take the boat across the lake. Along the way, a terrible storm blew in, and the disciples feared for their lives. Meanwhile, Jesus was asleep, resting His head on a cushion. While they were panicking, He was at peace (see Mark 4:35–41)!
