Day 30
Matthew 24:6 Amplified version
''And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars; see that you are not troubled, for this must take place, but the end is not yet"
Jesus commands us to be at peace in the midst of trouble. He said, "See that you are not frightened or troubled." That means our peace should be undisturbed. He has given us the ability to remain calm. Our goal should be not only to experience peace, but to abide in it; not only to have it come and go, but to remain. We can have undisturbed peace.
Did He really mean that even in the midst of trouble and perilous times, we can keep our peace? Yes! He demonstrated that when He fell asleep on the boat while the storm was raging. When they woke Him up feeling that they had a legitimate reason to be disturbed, He rebuked them. He did not sympathize with them and justify their fearfulness. He said they had little faith. Then He demonstrated that He was in control as He rebuked the storm and caused everything to return to normal. He didn't jump up and dash out to see the storm. He did not panic. His peace was not disturbed. He paused to rebuke them, even though they indicated it was an emergency and their lives were in jeopardy.
I have undisturbed peace. God gave it to me. He told me I could have it, and I receive it.
