Inner Peace

Words will influence you. I remember as a child my Mom would read to us before going to bed. She had a big, thick book that was full of Bible stories. The words she said to us would be the last thing we would hear, before falling asleep. I believe listening to the Bible stories about how God would intervene gave me peace so that I could sleep. I knew that no matter what situation I was in or would experience, God would be with me. Even today the last thing I do is read from God’s Word, before going to sleep. The Word of God also has helped me live my life, even through the most difficult situations.

The words you listen to and believe matter. Consider the story of Adam and Eve. They believed the word of Satan over the Word of God. This led to sin in the world, for them and us today. David believed the Word of God and was able to defeat a giant. The women with the issue of blood and blind Bartimaeus received healing because they believed the words of Jesus Christ.

You can see how the words you listen to will influence what you believe. That is why it is so important to stay under the covering of God’s Words. The only way to do this is to read His Word and believe His Word.

When you meditate on God’s Word and know it in your heart, you will be successful because you will understand the Word and have it ready within you at all times.

Trusting God and His Word will lead you to a place of refuge, protection, and security, a place of inner peace.

Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will by no means pass away. (Matthew 24:35) (Matthew 24:35)
