Hi, I’m Paul and you’re listening to If You Forget.
The world doesn't have much hope to offer these days but Jesus does. Whenever you feel life is overwhelming you remember these three things Jesus said to settle your heart and give you peace.
#1 - Jesus told you would have trouble but he also said he would give you peace.
In John 14:27 Jesus said, “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.”
The peace the world offers is temporary but the peace Jesus gives is eternal. Don’t let your heart be troubled. Jesus is still in control, and he still loves you. Remember that his peace is greater than your trouble.
#2 - Jesus told you not to worry about your life.
In Matthew 6:31-34 Jesus said “do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’
For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them.
But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.”
The Lord knows who you need, what you need and when you need it. He’s freed you from the burden of worry. Be still. The Lord will provide. Follow him, trust him, then watch him provide everything you need.
#3 - Jesus said your home is with him.
In John 14:1-3 Jesus said “Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me. My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me, that you also may be where I am.”
This world is not your home. Your home is with Jesus. Romans 8:39 tells us that no pain, no trouble, no enemy, nothing in this world can ever separate you from his love. So don’t fear, Jesus is leading you home and everything is going to be okay.
Let me pray for you:
Father,
Your peace is greater than trouble,
Your love is greater than hate,
Your shelter is greater than the storm,
Your joy is greater than sadness,
Your hope is greater than uncertainty, and
Your salvation is greater than sin.
Whenever we’re worried, remind us of these beautiful promises so that we may be filled with your peace.
In Jesus’ name we pray, amen
