PEACE.  
With Who? & Where Does It Come From?

“….Let him search for peace….and seek it eagerly. [Do not merely desire peaceful relations with God, with your fellowmen, and with yourself, but pursue, go after them!] "

 -1 Peter 3:11

When Jesus said, Peace I leave with you… (John 14:27) , He was talking about a special kind of peace, not a worldly kind of peace. The special peace that Jesus was talking about is the kind of peace that operates all the time in every situation.

• Because peace is not the absence of trouble, it’s the presence of God.

The peace that you have in your relationship with Jesus can help you to have peace even when you are experiencing the storms of life.

1 Peter 3:11 talks about 3 areas where we should search for and pursue peace.

        1. With God, 2. With our fellow man and 3. With ourselves.

        That word seek means to “…strive after, endeavor….desire.”

It doesn’t just happen, but peace comes when we make the decision in our hearts that chaos and fear will no longer be apart of our mentality.

You will see it start to manifest itself when you take some time to set apart a little part of each day just for God.

    It will help you to stay focused and confident when the winds start to blow.

    It reminds you that His Word promises that He will always take care of you.
