So here is
Jesus’ word for us when someone doesn’t like us, when we get a bad review at
work, or when the economy dips south and our 401(k) -- which remains the envy
of 95 percent of the human race -- is down 30 percent: “My peace I give you,” Jesus
promised. “I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be
troubled and do not be afraid.” (John 14:27)
The peace of
Jesus is something much deeper than self-help techniques to manage stress. It
is deeper than anxiety reduction to make life more pleasant. It is the settled
conviction that goes down to the core of your being -- to your belly where
rivers of living water can flow -- that all things are in God’s hands.
Therefore all things will be well, and you can live free of worry, burden, and
fear.
