I Corinthians 14:33 ” For God is not a God of disorder but of peace.”

So, I’ll ask you this question today…When was the last time you were calm and totally at peace, without a care in the world?  For the vast majority of us, it’s been quite a while.  This Corona virus has managed to disrupt our routines, throw our home life into confusion, and leave us feeling like we have no control.  That’s because when disorder with all its turmoil and instability takes up residency either within us or our home…all peace fades away.   But there is a answer for this and His Name is Jesus…for the Gospel of Jesus Christ is called the Gospel of Peace.  Now it doesn’t mean you will never have to experience disorder in your life, but it does mean that by having a relationship with Jesus you can be set free from the distress brought about by it.

Mark 4: 37-38 ” A furious squall came up, and the waves broke over the boat, so that it was nearly swamped. Jesus was in the stern, sleeping on a cushion. The disciples woke Him and said to Him, ‘Teacher, don’t you care if we drown?’ “

In the midst of a fierce life storm, have you ever echoed the disciple’s words, “Lord don’t you care?”  But if we stop to think through this question…Jesus cared about us long before we cared about Him.  For His loving concern was evident as He was nailed to that Cross on Calvary…intervening on our behalf as He willingly gave His life for ours.  So the next time you’re tempted to question the Lord’s concern, just remember I Peter 5:7, “Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you.”
