There's no peace on Earth, There's peace in Christ

John 16:33
33 “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you
will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”

The world we live in has shaded much trouble to us than good, first, it comes with a deceitful words and turn our mindset to live life at the fullest dragging us gently to our pitful. Jesus knowing the cunning nature of the devil taught His disciples hard enough to make them prepared for the trial and suffering of the world and again he showed them the secret to gain peace. The simple truth about peace is, we can't get it elsewhere except in Jesus.
Sometimes ago, after reading a book titled "When God write your love story" by Leslie, I discovered a peace I have never felt in my life, the peace came by understanding the true nature of God and his love for mankind. A peace that was bliss and pure, so confidence to face the trial of this world. Then , I realized it was same kind of peace the apostles and disciples and prophets of the old enjoyed. Words could fail me to describe the nature of the peace of Christ, it's nothing the world can offer, the world has nothing good compare to the peace in Christ Jesus.

2 Thessalonians 3:16
16 Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times and in every way.The Lord be with all of you.

This verse of the Bible recognize Jesus as the Lord of peace, it clearly points out that there's someone who gives peace, and this certainly doesn't come with the amount of money we have, amount of Fame we have, amount of authority we have, but that there's a Lord of peace who is Christ himself, Until you are connected to Him, you never get to taste from His stream of peace, Him alone can all men find peace. It would be wrong looking for peace from friends or ones possession, peace comes from God.

1 Peter 5:7
7 Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.

Most people have casted their trust on men, and so many times they have been disappointed , others have casted their trust on possession, and it has also failed them, others again as casted their trust in their wisdom, friends and family but each time they had failed them. This is a clear fact that men and possession can't be trusted for peace and satisfaction. There's no peace on Earth, looking at the current catastrophes, war, battle of the mind, death , struggles each day of a man's life, people on sick beds , others who are suffering from depression and anxiety , high blood pressure due to several factors and each day science keep investigating ways to help human but it never comes to an end.

Despite these troubles, few have been able to tap into that realm of peace in Christ, that they profess lifting up when others say their is a casting down, they rejoice when others cry, they succeed where others have failed and they are Victors in every phase of their life. These are men whom have casted their burden on Christ and allowed Him to take the lead, they are men who have connected with the Lord of peace, and are men who exercise their inbirth authority. Every man who ever lived in peace had Christ in him, because Christ alone is the giver and Lord of peace.

Psalm 29:11
11 The LORD gives strength to his people; the
LORD blesses his people with peace.

Peace is one of the blessings of God's people, He strengthens his people from every trial, troubles , suffering and wickedness of the Earth , apart from the strength in trial, he blesses his people with peace among other blessings. Are you seeking for peace? Probably, you have trusted in your ability and it had failed you, you have trusted in friends and they have failed you, you have trusted in your possession, yet hasn't gotten peace, it's Time to turn to the Lord of peace who's Jesus Himself, only Him can give us rest from the heavy laden , seek Him today and He will give you peace.
