DISCOVERING PEACE IN THE ARMS OF CHRIST (2)
TIMES OF REFRESHING ONLINE DAILY DEVOTIONAL www.thefountspring.org
DATE: THURSDAY, 8 FEBRUARY 2024
So, beloved, when we come to Christ, we find refuge in His arms. His embrace is a place of safety and security, where we can find rest for our weary souls. Yes, this is true. In His presence, the storms of life may rage around us, but within His embrace, we find peace that transcends our circumstances.
SCRIPTURE: “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)
REFRESHING FOR THE DAY: Discovering peace in the arms of Christ begins with surrender. It requires us to lay down our burdens, worries, and fears at His feet and trust Him to carry them for us. And as we release control and place our trust in Him, we experience the peace that comes from knowing that He is in control. Stay Refreshed!
NOTE THIS: Embracing Christ’s peace doesn’t mean the absence of difficulties, but rather experiencing His presence in the midst of adversity, bringing a sense of calm and serenity.
RESPONSIBILITY: So, dearly beloved, take a moment to reflect on areas of your life where you may be seeking peace. Surrender those areas to Christ and invite His peace to reign in your heart.
PRAYER: Heavenly Father, thank You for the gift of Your peace that transcends our circumstances. We surrender our worries and fears to You and invite Your peace to reign in our hearts. In Jesus’ name, we pray, Amen!
PROPHETIC WORD: As we come to Christ, may His peace fill our hearts and minds, and guide us through life’s storms. In the name of Jesus’ Amen!
BIBLE TEXTS: John 14:27
