Daily Devotion: Romans 5:1
“Now that we have been put right with God through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.”
Isn’t this what we all crave? Peace. The world talks of peace all the time, but the news proves otherwise. There are turmoil across the globe, political unrest, war, disease, natural disasters and more. This adds to our own personal troubles. We are tired of these daily cares and worries and just want everything to be calm and serene so that we can live our lives in peace.
Did you know that you can have peace in the midst of a troubled life? If you’ve accepted Jesus Christ as your Saviour and believe that He has risen from the dead and now is our intermediary with God the Father, you can have peace through your faith in Him. All you have to do is to admit to your own frailty and give all your cares to Him, knowing that He will sort it all out.
1 Peter 5:6-7: “Humble yourselves, then, under God’s mighty hand, so that he will lift you up in his own good time. Leave all your worries with him, because he cares for you.”
You may feel overwhelmed at the moment, but nothing overwhelms God. Let go of your troubles, lay it at the feet of our Lord and He will help you. Remember that, on the cross, He suffered for all our sins, He carried all our burdens and eventually gave His life so that we may live. Can you imagine this? Can you imagine the pain and sorrow that must have consumed Jesus as He hung on that cross? He even called out to God, whom He felt abandoned Him in His extremity. So, you see, nothing is new to Him. That which you find so threatening at the moment, He has already overcome. He understands your pain and worry, because He already suffered through it. You can have the confidence that He will bring you the peace you seek.Would you have enough faith today to lay your burdens at the feet of our Saviour?
