WAIT FOR PEACE

Philippians 4:6-8

Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. 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 (NIV)

Many times we find ourselves in situations where there seems to be no inner peace. Life places in front of us decisions to make, in which we are not sure what the best option should be; or we are simply facing doubts or painful situations.

In circumstances such as these, it is advisable not to take a hasty step, but rather to stay quiet, and wait for the voice of God that will clearly guide us. Wait to receive the peace, peace that comes from Jesus Christ, according to his promise. How marvelous it is to experience that peace! In the words of Paul, it is a divine experience that guards our hearts and thoughts in Christ Jesus.

So then, every morning, let us entrust our steps to the Lord. Let us remember the proverb: In their hearts humans plan their course, but the Lord establishes their steps.(Proverbs 16:9) NIV

 

Prayer: Dear Lord, it is true that many times we are in distress and anxiety. But You have promised to be our strength and refuge in the midst of all these tribulations. Help us to experience your peace every day. Amen.

ESPERE LA PAZ

Filipenses 4:6-8

La paz os dejo, mi paz os doy, yo no la doy como el mundo la da. No se turbe vuestro corazón ni tengan miedo

Juan 14:27

Muchas veces nos encontramos en situaciones en las que no parece haber sosiego interior. La vida nos coloca frente a decisiones a tomar, en las que no estamos seguros de cuál ha de ser la opción más favorable; o simplemente estamos ante dudas, o situaciones de dolor.

En tales circunstancias, lo recomendable es no dar un paso precipitado, sino quedarse quieto, y esperar la voz de Dios que claramente ha de guiarnos. Espere a recibir la paz, paz que proviene de Jesucristo, conforme a su promesa. ¡Qué maravilloso es experimentar esa paz! En el decir de Pablo, es una experiencia divina que guarda nuestros corazones y pensamientos en Cristo Jesús.

Así pues, cada mañana, encomendemos nuestros pasos al Señor. Recordemos el proverbio: El corazón del hombre piensa su camino, mas Jehová endereza sus pasos (Prov. 16:9).

 

Oración: Amado Señor, es cierto que muchas veces estamos en angustias y ansiedad. Pero Tú has prometido ser nuestra fortaleza y refugio en medio de todas esas tribulaciones. Ayúdanos a experimentar tu paz cada día. Amén.
