In Me You Have Peace…

Good morning,

Today, let’s carry the promise of Christ’s peace – the peace that endures all storms – into our interactions with the world.

I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.  John 16:33

In a world fractured by conflict, our human attempts at peace feel like sandcastles against an endless tide. We negotiate, we reconcile, yet new disputes emerge like waves on the shore. But there is another path, a deeper peace promised by Jesus in John 16:33: “In me you…have peace.” It’s a peace that defies human logic, enduring even when the world rages around us.

Jesus doesn’t guarantee a life free of storms, acknowledging that troubles are an inevitable part of this fallen world. “But take heart!” He proclaims, “I have overcome the world.”

When our own efforts to build peace crumble, let’s remember the One who holds the blueprint for true reconciliation, mending hearts through His selfless sacrifice. He has paved the way for peace – within ourselves, with others, and a deep, eternal peace with God.

So, when turmoil swirls and disagreements threaten to overwhelm, let’s anchor ourselves in the Prince of Peace. His is the steady foundation in a world of shifting sands, offering peace unshaken by any storm and a promise of ultimate victory. In Him, we have peace that no circumstance can shake

Dear Lord, in a world torn by conflict, I confess that my own efforts to create peace often feel futile. Help me cling to the deeper peace You offer – a peace that transcends my understanding. When storms rage around me, let me anchor myself in You, the Prince of Peace. Remind me that You have overcome the world. Grant me strength to persevere, a heart shaped by Your love, and faith in the promise of ultimate victory in You. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

God is always doing 10,000 things in your life, and you may be aware of three of them.

Walk daily with God at your side!

Love always,

Ed 🙏🏼

An Abundant  Year…

I believe this is going to be a year where God exceeds your expectations. He’s not going to do just what you’re asking for; He’s going to exceed it. He’s going to open doors you never dreamed would open. He’s going to take you further than you’ve imagined.

You’re going to look back and say, “I never dreamed I would be this blessed. I never dreamed I would get this position. I never dreamed I would overcome this addiction. I never dreamed I would feel this healthy.” 

Get ready. This is a new year, and God is doing a new thing. He’s about to exceed your expectations. He’s about to do things that you’ve never imagined. He’s going to make things happen that you couldn’t make happen.

One touch of His favor will catapult you where you could not go on your own. God is releasing healing, favor, opportunities, breakthroughs, promotion, and freedom.

You didn’t have to work for it, you didn’t earn it, and you didn’t deserve it. It’s just the goodness of God, showing His favor on your life.

Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us.
Ephesians 3:20

Father, thank You that You think extraordinary, You think abundance, and You think freedom. Help me to expect that You will exceed my expectations in this coming year. I believe and declare that You are doing exceedingly abundantly above all that I ask or think. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

Walk daily with God at your side!

Love always,

Ed 🙏🏼
