Chaos

In the new testament, the Prince of Peace—Jesus— gives us this promise—

John 14:27 | “I am leaving you with a gift—peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give. So don’t be troubled or afraid. 

Peace of mind and heart without fear or anxiety - what a wonderful gift!

But sometimes, this world is full of trouble and chaos. Remember Habakkuk? His mind was full of turmoil and fear because of the state of the world around him. Many years later, all of God’s people could relate to Habakkuk’s feelings as they experienced the invasion of a very cruel Babylon.
Just like God’s people then, we find ourselves surrounded by chaos and storms in this life. By keeping our minds set on the Prince of Peace— Our Savior— and His promises, we remember that just like the captives in Babylon, the chaos and storms are not the end of the story.

John 16:33 | I have told you all this so that you may have peace in me. Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world.”

Stand firm on God’s promises, pray, and wholeheartedly seek Him. In the middle of the chaos, peace is found in Jesus.
