TRUE PEACE FROM TROUBLE

October 8th, 2006 Brother Darrell Wellman

In the midst of trouble and severe trials , true peace can be found . It is in a person . His name is Jesus ! He is life and He is salvation . Jesus can bring peace to troubled lost souls . There is no possession or position in life that I would be willing to trade for the awesome peace I have found in my wonderful Savior Jesus Christ . There is no peace like His ! Praise Jesus’ name !

Jesus wants you to have His sweet peace in your life . Isaiah 57 :21 says : " There is no peace , saith my God , to the wicked ." There is a part of your heart that can never be filled with cars , homes , relationships , or other material things . Material blessings are good to have , but they can never give the true and lasting peace of Jesus Christ . In fact without Jesus , your life can never be complete . " And ye are complete in him , which is the head of all principality and power : " [ Colossians 2: 10 ] I’m so glad Jesus made my life complete in Him , and gave me a beautiful peace ! Jesus said : " I am the good shepherd , and know my sheep , and am known of mine . " [ John 10 : 14] I’ve got peace in my heart knowing my dear shepherd is looking out for me . Right now , I’m on His mind and in His heart ! Praise Jesus for the joy He brings !

How can one find true peace from a life troubled with sin ? Repent , which means a turning from sin . Obey Romans 10 :9 which says : " That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus , and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead , thou shalt be saved ."

The path which leads to true joy and peace , is marked out so clearly in God’s word ! I’m so glad I followed Jesus’ narrow path ! Today , I have the sweet joy and peace of Jesus in my life ! I don’t have to let things trouble me and bring ruin in my life , if I’ll just turn them over to my best friend , Jesus Christ . I don’t want to be in the drivers seat ! I want Christ to direct my life each day , because He knows what is best for me , and in Him I’ll find true peace .

It is so wonderful to know that I have a glorious promise of eternal life with Jesus Christ !

I don’t have to be troubled or afraid when I lay down at night , because Jesus is right there with me . I know if I don’t live to see another day , I will be in the arms of the one I love most , and who loves me more than I can comprehend . Do you have that kind of peace ? Jesus said : " Let not your heart be troubled : ye believe in God , believe also in me . In my Father’s house are many mansions : if it were not so , I would have told you . I go to prepare a place for you . And if I go and prepare a place for you , I will come again , and receive you unto myself ; that where I am , there ye may be also . " [ John 14 :6 ]
