Vicars Message

Communication that brings peace is true, trustworthy, and unchanging. In the scripture above, we are reminded that God’s word is established firmly and it endures as truth. We hear it is eternal, He is faithful, and His law endures. The author of Psalm 119 clearly states that the word of God has preserved him. As believers, we can seek peace & preservation in God’s word as well. In John 16:33 we read, “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” Jesus spoke these words after explaining to his disciples of the things that were ahead. Throughout God’s word, believers are given explanations of what to expect, God’s promises, and warnings. God has breathed truth into his word that communicates the information He desires us to have and He intends for it to bring us peace.

The ability to understand or comprehend the world around us is a key component to our peace of mind. Our most effective and reliable source of information is found in God’s clear and written word. He has spoken, and his word is everlasting and trustworthy. As we seek to grow in peace, studying and knowing God’s word will supply deeper peace in our lives. Philippians 4:6-7 might be one you’ve memorized: “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” May God bless you richly and abundantly, showering His choicest blessings in your life.
