WONDERFUL PEACE!

John 14:27 – Devotional

John 14:27

“Peace I leave with you,
My peace I give to you: not as the world gives do I give I to you.
Do not let your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.”

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

We seem to be constantly bombarded with the talk of peace. As a young boy I recall pictures of British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain waving a document in his hand and saying he had just met with Adolf Hitler and had secured a promise of peace. His words were, “I have returned from Germany with peace for our time.”

The sad reality was that the world was soon to be exposed to the horrible reality of a war waged by a mad man who intentionally tried to exterminate Jews and other ethnic groups. There was no peace then or now!

From the day that Adam and Eve sinned and were evicted from the garden there has been strife, conflicts and wars. For all of the rhetoric about attaining peace we are no closer to world peace, nor will we ever be until Jesus comes again. What a fantastic day it will be when there is eternal peace — Wonderful Peace.

WONDERFUL PEACE

Far away in the depths of my spirit tonight
Rolls a melody sweeter than psalm;
In celestial strains it unceasingly falls
O’er my soul like an infinite calm.

Refrain: Peace, peace, wonderful peace,
Coming down from the Father above!
Sweep over my spirit forever, I pray
In fathomless billows of love!

I am resting tonight in this wonderful peace,
Resting sweetly in Jesus’ control;
For I’m kept from all danger by night and by day,
And His glory is flooding my soul!

Refrain: Peace, peace, wonderful peace,
Coming down from the Father above!
Sweep over my spirit forever, I pray
In fathomless billows of love!

Ah, soul! are you here without comfort and rest,
Marching down the rough pathway of time?
Make Jesus your Friend ere the shadows grow dark;
O accept of this peace so sublime!

Refrain: Peace, peace, wonderful peace,
Coming down from the Father above!
Sweep over my spirit forever, I pray
In fathomless billows of love!

GET TO WORK​!​​

John 9:4 – Devotional

John 9:4

“I must do the works of Him who sent Me while it is day; the night is coming when no one can work.”

There was a time when I was employed by a company that required me to punch in and out at a time clock. It was the means of insuring that workers arrived on time and worked the full required time before clocking out. At times a whistle is sounded to alert workers when to start and stop work.

In today’s Scripture Jesus is teaching that He had work to do and a limited time to accomplish His assignment. If that was true of the Son of God, how much more should we be committed to do our work for Him.

It would be well for us to take stock of how we spend our time. Are we more committed to the pleasures of life than we are to the opportunities to do the work He has called us to perform?

It is time for us to listen for the whistle from the Holy Spirit telling us that there is work to be done and we need to be faithful in our service for the King of kings and Lord of lords.

May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!

BE FULL OF CHEER!

John 16:33b – Devotional

John 16:33b

“In the world you will experience tribulation; but be full of cheer, for I have overcome the world!”

I have thrilled as I have listened to the Gaither’s sing their song, “Because He Lives.” This has been especially true during the times when I stood at the graveside of those who have been the dearest to me.

For the believer, when we say farewell to our believing loved ones, it is not an “eternal good bye,” it is more appropriately a, “until we live eternally in glory, you will live fondly in the storehouse of my memories.”

For the true believers in the Living Lord Jesus, we have a glorious reunion waiting for us in Glory. The precious experience of seeing our loved ones again will only be surpassed by seeing our Lord and Savior who gave Himself for us!

We need to reflect the cheer of being the redeemed of the Lord. Jesus has given us the precious gift of eternal life. For the believer, physical death is a farewell to this sin-sick world and hello to an eternity full of cheer!

May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!

HIDDEN PEACE!

John 14:27 – Devotional

John 14:27

“Peace I leave with you, My peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.”

True inner peace is not achieved by our best intentions or some so-called higher level of thinking. It comes from a relationship which is established when we have been born again and receive the assurance of eternal life. The world cannot understand it, but like some “wise” person once observed; “It is better felt than telt!”

Our hymn this week is attributed to John H. Brown. There is very little information known about him, but the important legacy he leaves for us is the truth of his precious hymn.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

HIDDEN PEACE

I cannot tell thee whence it came,
This peace within my breast;
But this I know, there fills my soul
A strange and tranquil rest.

Refrain
There’s a deep, settled peace in my soul,
There’s a deep, settled peace in my soul,
Tho’ the billows of sin near me roll,
He abides, Christ abides.

Beneath the toil and care of life,
This hidden stream flows on;
My weary soul no longer thirsts,
Nor am I sad and lone.

Refrain
There’s a deep, settled peace in my soul,
There’s a deep, settled peace in my soul,
Tho’ the billows of sin near me roll,
He abides, Christ abides.

I cannot tell the half of love,
Unfeigned, supreme, divine,
That caused my darkest inmost self
With beams of hope to shine.

Refrain
There’s a deep, settled peace in my soul,
There’s a deep, settled peace in my soul,
Tho’ the billows of sin near me roll,
He abides, Christ abides.

I cannot tell thee why He chose
To suffer and to die,
But if I suffer here with Him
I’ll reign with Him on high.

Refrain
There’s a deep, settled peace in my soul,
There’s a deep, settled peace in my soul,
Tho’ the billows of sin near me roll,
He abides, Christ abides.

HEAR HIS VOICE!

John 10:27 – Devotional

John 10:27

“My sheep know My voice, and I know them, and they respond to Me.”

As a boy I used to spend most of my waking hours playing outdoors. That was long before the days of television, computers, and various instruments that intrude on the delight of being in the great outdoors!

There always seemed to be several kids of various ages that played together. Each of us could recognize the voice of our mother when we were called to come inside. Did we respond immediately? Are you kidding?! It was only after repeated calls, and a few threats of a punishment, that we reluctantly obeyed.

I look forward to hearing the voice of my mother once again. But even more so do I eagerly long for the voice of my beloved Savior that I have known for over eighty years. Sadly, I have not always responded to His voice as quickly as I should, but I have known since I accepted Him into my heart that I am His child!

If you have never entered into that eternal relationship with Jesus by being born again, I implore you to simply invite Him to be your Savior. He knows your heart and has died for you to become one of His kids! Do you hear His voice?

May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!
