With all the chaos in the world we could all use a little peace. For years every morning I prayed for peace from the battle instead of peace for the battle. Jesus assures us that as His followers, “in this world we will have trouble.” Jesus’ ministry was hardly one of peace. His days were filled with distress and disorder: He was beleaguered by His enemies and misunderstood by His family and friends. He often had no place to lay His head. Yet there was no trace of anxiety or fretfulness in His manner. He possessed an inner calm, a quiet tranquility. This is the peace He has given us—freedom from …..

I began reading the Gospel of Matthew and noticed four Old Testament prophecies pointing to Jesus as the Messiah were fulfilled in the first two chapters. There are over 300 prophecies about Jesus as the Messiah.

You sit still and trust the engineer to get you through.” if you are going through a tunnel now, pray and meditate on God’s Word to stay on track and keep your eyes on the engineer, He is always in complete control.

I met a Pastor who told me his greatest passion was to witness the “Good News” of Jesus Christ. When his granddaughter was getting married, she sent the future groom over to meet him. The young man was a non-believer and although the Pastor tried the young man would not accept the invitation. Before he left the Pastor asked if it was okay to pray for the young man. The Pastor prayed, “Lord I pray for your hedge of protection over this young man as he leaves here today because if he has an accident and doesn’t survive, he will end up in Hell.” The young man immediately accepted Christ …..
