One of my friends and I have been doing a study called “21 Day Habit.” It’s been really good. Everyday I get an e-mail with verses and a challenge around a certain point. Today’s topic was peace. It seems that each of these days has been just the challenge I needed that day. Today’s challenge was to identify your “disturbers of peace.” I sat back and thought about how little peace I have had lately. It seems that lately just about everything has been frustrating and made me anxious and lacking peace. As I reading through the verses, I came across this verse..
“He will keep in perfect peace all those who trust in Him..” Isaiah 26:3
Talk about a wake-up call. Most of my “disturbers of peace” come directly from a lack of trust in my God and Savior. For some reason, I feel that my plan for my life is better and that He is taking too long to reveal the next step. Trust is something I have struggled with most of my life anyways, but today I realized that this battle will never be won until I just take the step to give God everything. To once and for all trust that He has a plan and that His plan is good. Today, I can have peace even though I have no idea what tomorrow may bring or next week or next year. It’s not about that. It’s about trusting in Him.
What about you-what are your “disturbers of peace”? How can you start living more peacefully today?
