GOD WILL GIVE YOU PEACE
“Now may the Lord of peace Himself give you peace always in every way. The Lord be with you all.” II Thessalonians 3:16 NKJV
God will give us the peace that passes ALL understanding; if we will allow Him to do so.
When we’re willing to live in and by the All Powerful Peace of God, we can have His Peace. We give aside our ways of trying to figure out things. How to make 2 + 2 = 4; how to make all the loose ends come together.
The equation has to be in the correct order. HE is God, we are His child. We depend on Him. He is Almighty. He depends on NO-ONE. HE IS THE ANSWER TO EVERY PROBLEM!
There is no peace in constantly trying to “one-up” God on how to make life’s problems and situations work. If anything, we are actually relying on ourselves and only using God as our “standby”.
God sees us as we go to and fro trying to “make a way”, trying to “pull it all together.” We become so consumed with the problem we forget that this is completely against God’s will for our lives. We can never solve our problems the way God wants, because only He knows our future.
His Word says to us, “Come to me all you who labor and are heavy laden and I will give you rest.” Matthew 11:28-30 NKJV
This means we are to STOP trying to be the God of our life. Just be His child and let Him be God. And let Him be IN CONTROL.

Amen to that, Gloria. We are always trying to control our own life, but there are things that we cannot control. We need to trust Him that He knows what is best for us.
