FINDING PEACE AND UNDERSTANDING IN THIS WORLD

FINDING PEACE AND UNDERSTANDING
IN THIS WORLD


It is a CRAZY-mixed-up world=
That is a FACT=and
FINDING PEACE and understanding
From others In this world
Is DIFFICULT


But we CAN find it in Jesus
And in God=RIGHT?


Yet Jesus said:
“Do you think that I have
COME to establish PEACE
On this earth?


No-I tell you-but rather division” Luke 12:51


Maybe OUR CONCEPT of peace
Is NOT CHIST'S concept of peace


Maybe we have MISTAKEN
Faith for certainty


MAYBE what it just comes down to
=IS TRUSTING God and Jesus


IF we can't find peace and understanding
In this world=WHERE can we find it?


Oh-but WE CAN=Christ Jesus
Tells us=that in him we CAN FIND
A PEACE that TRANSCENDS all understanding


Maybe we have mistaken PEACE for
Comfort=for lack of division=and for
FULFILLMENT of worldly needs


But CHRIST'S PEACE comes despite
all of that=whether we have them or not


“LOVE and faithfulness
MEET together-
Righteousness and PEACE
Kiss each other” Psalm 85:10


“And the PEACE OF GOD
Which TRANSCENDS all understanding
Will GUARD your hearts
And your minds
IN Christ Jesus” Philippians 4:7


“MAKE every effort
To LIVE in PEACE with everyone
And to be HOLY


Without holiness
NO ONE will see the LORD” Hebrews 12:14


You will NEVER find peace
In MATERIAL POSSESSIONS-in money-
Or through anyone else


But you CANFIND peace and UNDERSTANDING
Despite the things of
This world


In God and in CHRIST Jesus=
Jesus understands you=for He
UNDERSTANDS this world


He went through it all
Just the SAME as you and I


“GIVE me understanding
So that I
May KEEP your law


And obey it
With ALL MY HEART” Psalm 119:34


“We know also
That the SON OF GOD
Has come


And has GIVEN us UNDERSTANDING


So that we MAY also KNOW
Him who is TRUE
…...................” 1 John 5:20


Dear Lord=we KNOW that
We will NEVER FIND PEACE
In-or through this world


But we will FIND OUR
PEACE and UNDERSTANDING in you


In the name of Jesus OUR SAVIOR=and his MOST
HEAVENLY FATHER
