The peace of God which transcends all understanding-Philippians 4:7

He has promised a glorious future - not necessarily a future free of trouble, but a future filled with "the peace of God which transcends all understanding" (Philippians 4:7)

What we need to note is that we are not promised there will not be any troubles in our life but we will have a glorious future.A future that we can have the peace in our lives, even though we may not comprehend what that is. It is not  a smooth road but a road less traveled is a road well worth travelling.

Matthew 28:5-7 The angel said to the women, "Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus..."

The angel said to the women, "Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay. Then go quickly and tell his disciples: 'He has risen from the dead and is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him.' Now I have told you."


Matthew 28:5-7 (NIV)

As another Easter goes by what did we discover of ourselves and our relationship with God.
Did we go to the cave, discover it was empty and fear for our future ?
Or did we discover / re-discover our faith in God and the gift of the resurrection ?
Only you will be able to answer this as each of our journeys are our own.
We can draw  parrallels to the experiences oh so long ago, but each person will need to discover in their own way...
the gift from God.

Prayer for my friend

Just got news from my friend who has migrated down to Australia and he says he has found God and is now a practicing Christian. While this is great news, I pray that this is not one of his swings of interest and that he will truly embrace God's love and grace. May he find the peace that God brings and embrace the future that God has planned for him.
Amen.
