Peace With God!
"Now the God of peace
be with you all. Amen."
Romans 15: 33
Shortly after dropping his son off at school one day last year in India,
Isaac Paulose’s car was stopped by a motorcycle gang. Thugs began
beating him with bamboo logs and chains, then they rode their cycles
over him and threatened to kill him if he continued sharing Christ.
Isaac’s wife, Elizabeth, said, “Initially, I was very troubled and in
a state of shock after seeing Isaac in this condition, but later the
Lord gave me peace and strength. It is our
privilege to suffer for
the Lord, and we will continue to work for the Lord.”
This brave family is continuing
to serve Christ amid the dangers.
What Elizabeth said is true for us in every alarming situation we
face. First, we may be in a state of shock. After all, we’re humans
and we have emotions and reactions. But when we walk with God,
He quickly comes in these situations with His peace and strength.
Only a true follower of Christ can understand how
we can have peace in every situation because of
Him.
"The world can create trouble in peace,
but God can create peace in trouble."
Thomas Watson
