PRACTICAL CHRISTIANITY - MEDITATE DAY AND NIGHT
Dec. 16th, 2025
“PEACE, I LEAVE WITH YOU.”
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.” (John 14:27 NIV)
Peace is a gift from God given to us when Christ restored our relationship with God and one another. It is a state of tranquility or quietness of spirit that transcends circumstances.
The promise attached to Jesus Christ’s sacrifice on the cross at Calvary, to make us right with God, is eternal life. So, why did Jesus throws in Peace?
Because in this world we will have trouble. Jesus was telling His disciples that He will soon leave the world to go back to the Father and encouraging them to take heart for they were about to be scattered and He will be left alone. But in Him, they will have peace (John 16:31-33) only if they believe. Therefore, we need peace on the inside and on the outside to navigate the angry storms, the difficult terrain, the wild wind, the terror by night and the arrow that flies by day.
This peace acts as a protective force against worry, fear and negative thoughts, paralyzing the devils attempts to disturb our inner minds. This is the peace that saves us from High Blood Pressure. It is the peace that keeps us standing and unshakable in different circumstances. This is why this peace passes all understanding. “And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” (Phil. 4:7 NIV) This peace becomes more prominent, constant and consistent the more we move closer to God through the increasing knowledge of His word.
Jesus said: “Peace be still” (Mark 4:39) and the raging storm obeyed. Jesus was Himself at peace and for that reason, He was in a perfect place in His mind to give the order and knowing or remembering His own power and authority over His creations.
Similarly, our exterior and interior peace guarantee that our thinking faculties are tuned to His words of victory not a state of panic and anxiety that leave us hopeless, shatter, and disoriented.
We need this peace to think, to analysis, to exercise faith, to remember His promises and to activate same. We need His peace to look the storm in the eye and say ‘you shouldn’t be here’. We need peace to reclaim, to strategize and to be in control. This is why we are to LIVE AT PEACE WITH ALL MEN (Heb 12:14). Anger is this peace enemy.
THE WORD: “Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely; and may your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ." (1 Thes.5.23.NKJV)
