Peace Because He Has Overcome (Daily Devotional)

Greetings and thank you once again for the opportunity to come to you today and spend these few moments in God’s word and prayer. We are meditating this week on Jesus being the prince of peace, recognizing that the peace He gives to us is very different from what the world gives, that peace is in Him, it is in the person and we can have peace when we understand and recognize that He reigns above it all, above the storms, winds and waves, He is ruler and King and the increase of His peace will never be diminished in any way. I also want to point us to what Jesus said in John chapter 16, verse 33, He said, ‘These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.’ Here is another reason why and how you and I can experience the peace that Jesus gives to us, recognizing that He has overcome the world. He said, in the world you will have tribulation, that means there will be things that cause distress, disturb our lives but He said in the middle of it, be of good cheer, you maintain your joy because He said I have overcome the world, I have overcome everything that is in the world that could possibly disturb you and come against you in an attempt to rob you of your peace. So, when we are in the middle of those situations that disturb our peace and trouble us, trying to bring fear and worry and anxiety and panic and so on, remember He has overcome those things. So, when you look at those things, don’t consider/ pay attention/ focus on how difficult, how complex, how troublesome the situation is, you look at those things and say, Jesus, you said you have overcome this, conquered it, triumphed over it, subdued these things, so, I am looking to my prince of peace, in you I have peace, you are the ruler of peace and you are greater than the things that disturb me and I’m asking you to solve/ intervene in these things and to take care of these situations. You speak to those circumstances and say Jesus has already conquered you, overcome this situation, He has triumphed over this, He has done it already so, I’m going to be of good cheer. Let’s pray, Lord Jesus, we thank you that you are our prince of peace and over every circumstance/ situation that may try to rob us of our peace, we declare Jesus has overcome you, triumphed over you and therefore we will be of good cheer because in Him, we have peace, in Jesus’s name, Amen.
