Never "for the sake of peace and quiet" deny your own experience or convictions.

John 4:31-38; 4:46-54
31) Meanwhile the disciples besought him, saying, "Rabbi, eat." 32) But he said to them, "I have food to eat of which you do not know." 33) So the disciples said to one another, "Has any one brought him food?" 34) Jesus said to them, "My food is to do the will of him who sent me, and to accomplish his work. 35) Do you not say, `There are yet four months, then comes the harvest'? I tell you, lift up your eyes, and see how the fields are already white for harvest. 36) He who reaps receives wages, and gathers fruit for eternal life, so that sower and reaper may rejoice together. 37) For here the saying holds true, `One sows and another reaps.' 38) I sent you to reap that for which you did not labor; others have labored, and you have entered into their labor." 46) So he came again to Cana in Galilee, where he had made the water wine. And at Caper'na-um there was an official whose son was ill. 47) When he heard that Jesus had come from Judea to Galilee, he went and begged him to come down and heal his son, for he was at the point of death. 48) Jesus therefore said to him, "Unless you see signs and wonders you will not believe." 49) The official said to him, "Sir, come down before my child dies." 50) Jesus said to him, "Go; your son will live." The man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him and went his way. 51) As he was going down, his servants met him and told him that his son was living. 52) So he asked them the hour when he began to mend, and they said to him, "Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him." 53) The father knew that was the hour when Jesus had said to him, "Your son will live"; and he himself believed, and all his household. 54) This was now the second sign that Jesus did when he had come from Judea to Galilee.

No matter how big and tough a problem may be, get rid of
confusion by taking one little step toward solution.

Do something.

Then try again.

At the worst so long as you don't do it the same way twice,
you will eventually use up all the wrong ways of doing it;
and thus, the next try will be the right one.
~George F. Nordenholt~

19) "Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust consume and where thieves break in and steal, 20) but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust consumes and where thieves do not break in and steal. 21) For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. 22) The eye is the lamp of the body. So, if your eye is sound, your whole body will be full of light; 23) but if your eye is not sound, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light in you is darkness, how great is the darkness! 24) No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon. 25) Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you shall eat or what you shall drink, nor about your body, what you shall put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? 26) Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? 27) And which of you by being anxious can add one cubit to his span of life? 28) And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they neither toil nor spin; 29) yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 30) But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, O men of little faith?"

Great verse as usual!

A child is born to us, a son is given to us. And the government will rest on his shoulders. These will be his royal titles: Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. His ever expanding, peaceful government will never end. He will rule forever with fairness and justice from the throne of his ancestor David. The passionate commitment of the Lord Almighty will guarantee this!

Isaiah 9:6-7 NLT

You will keep in perfect peace all who trust in you, whose thoughts are fixed on you!
Isaiah 26:3 NLT

I am leaving you with a gift—peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give you isn't like the peace the world gives. So don't be troubled or afraid.
John 14:27 NLT


Peace is a person

His peace of mind came not from building on the future but from resting in what he called "the holy Present."

C.S. Lewis on George Macdonald1

If you were navigating in strange waters or tracking through the wilderness, you would feel at peace with a competent navigator. As we move through spiritual territory that's frightening, new to us, or full of trouble, what a comfort and support to have the Lord God, creator of peace, walking with us. He knows the way!2

These are all great! Thank You!

John 4:46-54



So he came again to Cana in Galilee, where he had made the water wine. And at Caper'na-um there was an official whose son was ill. When he heard that Jesus had come from Judea to Galilee, he went and begged him to come down and heal his son, for he was at the point of death. Jesus therefore said to him, "Unless you see signs and wonders you will not believe." The official said to him, "Sir, come down before my child dies."

Jesus said to him, "Go; your son will live." The man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him and went his way. As he was going down, his servants met him and told him that his son was living. So he asked them the hour when he began to mend, and they said to him, "Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him." The father knew that was the hour when Jesus had said to him, "Your son will live"; and he himself believed, and all his household. This was now the second sign that Jesus did when he had come from Judea to Galilee.

He sure did perform miricles! That's why I tell people I do believe in miricles!
