Where God is, there you will find true peace. John 14:1a says, “Let not your hearts be troubled.” And continuing in John 14:27 the Bible says, “Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your heart be troubled, nor let it be fearful.”
This is something God recently put on my heart,
“Perfect is my peace and true rest comes from being in My will and in surrender to Me, walking with Me, talking with Me. Purge yourself of all that is unnecessary and find peace and comfort in Me. Steady your heart and mind on Me. I am where truth and fulfillment lie. The world is full of noise and disorder and it takes extreme intentionality to live apart from it while living in it.
Do it anyway. It requires walking with Me moment by moment and not letting your heart be swayed by it. It is not easy to achieve and only through complete surrender is it possible.”
For me, I felt as if God was saying unplug from the world and focus more on Me and My Word.
