JUSTASK: PEACE THROUGH STRENGTH
By Nancy Lennert

Isaiah 41:10 NLT
Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be discouraged, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will hold you up with my victorious right hand.

The Lord tells us that we will have peace because He cares for us. He strengthens us. He holds us up with His victorious right hand. Oh, the glory of God.

Jesus went to the cross in quiet power. He said nothing. He knew the outcome. His silence angered His enemies. He remained strong in His peaceful knowing of the outcome.

Sometimes the less we say, the more powerful we appear. I understand that silence can be golden.

2 Thessalonians 3:16 NLT
Now may the Lord of peace himself give you His peace at all times and in every situation. The Lord be with you all.

Paul knew that peace came from strength. Paul knew who he was but more importantly, he knew who Jesus was in him. Jesus brought His peace to Paul so that Paul could walk in strength. The strength of Jesus.

When you know who you are and Who you carry inside of you, then you show a quiet strength. No one can change your thinking. You are a quiet storm standing strong.

Psalm 28:7 NLT
The LORD is my strength and shield. I trust Him with all my heart.
He helps me, and my heart is filled with joy. I burst out in songs of thanksgiving.

Knowing that my peace comes through the strength of Jesus Christ, my heart is filled with joy. I do not rely upon myself.

The strength of Jesus is in His Word. His word produces peace. His word produces life. His word produces truth. His word produces hope. His life and resurrection have given me peace to overcome all that life brings to me.

There is no strife in peace. There is no fear in peace. There are no moments of uncertainty or doubt. Peace brings strength and that peace comes from Jesus.

Exodus 14:14 NLT
The LORD himself will fight for you. Just stay calm.

Now isn’t this interesting? We think we must fight our battles, but Father God says He Himself will fight for us. Be at peace/stay calm. Jesus has overcome.

At the cross, Jesus had a strength about Him that none have seen before. He knew His ending and He was joyful in the Father. Jesus was at peace knowing that we would be returned to His Father. Glory to our God.

If we know our purpose, if we know who we serve, then we must know that He is Jehovah Shalom.

John 14:27 NLT
I am leaving you with a gift—peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give. So don’t be troubled or afraid.

Ahh yes, Holy Spirit peace. We have no excuse for not being in peace. The peace of Holy Spirit is strong and steadfast. You will remain in peace through His strength. AMEN

I remain in His peace to love and serve,
