John 14:27 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.

Jesus was telling the disciples they would have a whole lot more than a man come to live with them. Although He was about to give His life on the cross, He would be able to leave behind His love and peace which would go further than just words.

The world can promise many things and can even deliver on many things, but nothing will come close to the peace we have in Jesus Christ; a peace which goes beyond our mortal understanding!

Ezekiel 37:26 I will make a covenant of peace with them; it will be an everlasting covenant. I will establish them and increase their numbers, and I will put my sanctuary among them forever.

This promise He has with us is not something we thought of after Jesus was hung on the cross, but something He promised many years before Christ even came to earth!

This is a promise which has stood the test of time and one which we can look back into history and verify!

God has many more promises which He has made and patiently waits for us to accept each and every one of them to live out our lives with Him!

2 Corinthians 6:16 What agreement is there between the temple of God and idols? For we are the temple of the living God. As God has said: “I will live with them and walk among them, and I will be their God, and they will be my people.”

When people prefer a ‘relationship’ with a small statue or other idol, ask them what agreement they have with the status!

God has an actual agreement with us so we can have a goal and a way forward.

We do have a God who cares and who would like a full loving two-way relationship with Him; and that comes from His mouth!

Exodus 29:45 Then I will dwell among the Israelites and be their God.

Just as God promised the people of Israel that He would come and live with them in a tent they built, so too did Jesus come and live amongst us as a Human man.

Why limit God’s power to our understanding when we have proof already He is willing and able to come down to our level and be with us – just so we can be with Him for eternity!

Learn to trust God in all His ways and He will never disappoint you – trust in your own limitations and you will always be disappointed by your lack of power in the end.
