Peace, Perfect Peace

I will give you assured peace in this place.~~ Jeremiah 14:13 NKJV ~~

"Worry," says Vance Havner, "is like sitting in a rocking chair. It will give you something to do, but it won't get you anywhere."

Worry and anxiety have hounded the human race since the beginning of time, and modern man with all his innovations has not found the cure for the plague of worry.

What is the answer? Imagine in your mind a ferocious ocean storm beating against a rocky shore. The lightning flashes, the thunder roars, the waves lash the rocks.

But then imagine that you see a crevice in the rocky cliff -- and inside is a little bird, its head serenely tucked under its wing, fast asleep. It knows the rock will protect it, and thus it sleeps in peace.

God promised Moses, "I will put you in the cleft of the rock, and will cover you with My hand" (Exodus 33:22). That is God's promise to us. Christ is our Rock, and we are secure in His hands forever. The storm rages, but our hearts are at rest.
