Man was created by God, to be his best in God and for God's glory. How could one therefore be truly joyful and peaceful apart from God.
Now this will really help.
What are we living for?
Many of us need to unlearn much of the formulas we were taught from childhood or "absorbed" from World systems. I must note the World Systems of Achievement have been made to look very attractive. Presenting the rich and elite as being the happiest.
While we need money to be effective in increasing the Kingdom. The measure of one's happiness is definitely not connected to how much money or material possessions we own. Many rich and wealthy people have sleepless nights, consistently being more disturbed about owning more or protecting what they have.
Let us put aside all striving and rest in God.
God knows our need for peace in a world full or turmoil. Peace was dealt with at the cross: "The chastisement of our peace was upon his head" (Isaiah 53:5)
God gives us peace through Christ Jesus
John 14:27
“Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid"
So when troubles come today, this week and anxiety may come because we are looking too far ahead, concerned all the things we have yet to do, yet to accomplish. Or we are believing a negative prognosis more than what God says. Run to God, get back into his rest. Choose peace and choose joy. Remember God is working it out.
I found this short sermon in my searched this week I shall share with you here:
Amen
Walk Good in Christ
Till we meet again
