John 14: 27 (NIV)
"All this I have spoken while still with you. But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name,will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you. Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid."
When Jesus left this earth he promised his disciples that though he would be departing, The Holy Spirit would be with them. At this time the disciples were anxious and worried. Jesus tried to put their minds at ease, giving them comfort. Amidst the chaos and calamity in this world, God brings peace and love. We can trust Him with our everything as He will never fail us. When we face challenges and times of uncertainty, God brings stability, understanding and comfort.
We are commanded not to be troubled but many of us allow life's challenges to impact on our joy, our mood and our attitude. When we are unsure which road to take, which decision to make we must first bring our hearts to God asking for wisdom. We are not expected to find our own way through the valley but to allow God to walk with us. He is there but we need to let Him in. God is gracious and a gentleman, He does not push His way in but waits for us to beckon Him in.
When trouble comes our way let us look to God to help us find a solution. Let us not look to man whose wisdom is limited. When we are found in situations in which we must endure, God is the only one who can bring us true peace and hope that it will come to an end. God has the answers, God is our comforter, our strength, our anchor. He never gives as the world gives. He will never fail us.
