Crossing the Bridge from Chaos to Peace
October 6, 2024
Chaos isn't just external circumstances
Peace, on the other hand, isn't just the absence of conflict
Recognize the Source of True Peace
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."
Submit Your Chaos to God
Philippians 4:6-7
"Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."
"There is no pit so deep, that God's love is not deeper still."
Embrace God's Promises
Isaiah 26:3
"You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you."
"I have one desire now - to live a life of reckless abandon for the Lord, putting all my energy and strength into it."

Matthew 5:9
"Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God."
Actively work to bring about peace where it doesn't exist.
