“…when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst, and said to them, “Peace be with you.””
‭‭John‬ ‭20:19‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

God has deposited an extraordinary power in us and that power is the calmness that comes from His peace. We often panic when trouble comes and we end up battling with our emotions and losing the peace that we had. The situation becomes worse than before, but the Bible shows us many incidences where people saw God’s hands doing wonders for them amidst challenges.

In Acts, we see Paul who remained calm amidst the tumult at the sea. We also see him and Silas remain calm and singing to God while they were in the prison. Their calmness actually brought heaven down to the prison and it’s foundation itself was shaken. How could Paul do this in the midst of such persecutions?

It is the Christ who dwelt in him that made him remain calm in every situation. Christ who slept in the midst of a tempest and who calmed the raging wind and the tossing waves reigned in Paul’s heart and mind.

Yes! God’s peace fills our inner man with His calmness and this has great power. The power to bring heaven to earth, to shake the foundation of your troubles and to calm the waves in your life.

“For thus says the Lord GOD: “In returning and rest you shall be saved; In quietness and confidence shall be your strength.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭30:15‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

So, be calm, remain in His peace and experience God’s power!
