Searching for peace

​4-26-22
Peace is so elusive that most people can never find it, no matter how many Christian books they read, films they watch, worship services they attend, no matter how much they pray, read the Bible, or listen to that favorite national preacher. The reason why they can’t is pretty simple. They believe that “God helps those who help themselves.” Most Christians believe that is a quote from the Bible or at least God’s word implies that concept.
God does the opposite. He helps, thus giving peace, to those who are helpless before him. We don’t like that we don’t have anything to do with finding peace in our lives, so we go running after the latest things to help us find peace even though that race to find peace will always fail. Tomorrow I will share what I believe is the most wonderful Gospel statement in the Bible. It might surprise you.
