Peace is found in trusting the person who controls all the things that you don’t understand and who knows no mystery because he has planned it all. It’s not to be found in personal planning or attempts to control the circumstances and people in your life. It is never found in trying to figure out the secret will of God. This passage tells us where peace is found. So you ask, “Where is peace to be found?” This question is answered clearly and powerfully in Isaiah 26:įor the LORD GOD is an everlasting rock. These thoughts have been great for us right now, and are great for everyone facing challenging and uncertain circumstances:īiblical literacy does not dispel all confusion and mystery from your life because while God reveals his will for you in the Bible, he does not reveal all the things he will do in your life for your good and his glory.

Nanci and I have both found that great peace comes in meditating on the attributes of our God and His care for us. But take heart! I have overcome the world” (John 16:33, NIV). We’re fully trusting the One who said, “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. God is in control, and we really are at peace. While Nanci and I are disappointed, of course, we had talked beforehand and were prepared to accept this from the hand of a sovereign and loving God.
JESUS SAID PEACE BE STILL UPDATE

(The suspicious spots can't be easily biopsied because they are too deep, and will need to be removed with surgery, and Nanci will probably need to go through more chemotherapy as well. Two different surgeons believe Nanci's cancer, which they saw no more sign of until recently, has spread to her lungs. Many thanks to those who have prayed for and left comments for Nanci and me after I shared about her then upcoming CT scan, which was done last Monday. At the follow up appointments, we received some challenging news about the results.
