Psalm 37:23-24  If the LORD delights in a man’s way, he makes his steps firm;  24 though he stumble, he will not fall, for the LORD upholds him with his hand.    

Clearly in the Christian walk these two verses remind us that: WE WILL “STUMBLE”, but yet WE “WILL NOT FALL.” So today as you may be facing some difficulties that maybe you feel you do not desserve or yet are a result of you actions, remember that you WILL NOT FALL. You may be down but you will rise. There is hope, mercy and abounding love in Christ. He himself states that “peace I leave with you. My peace I give to you; not as the world gives, give I to you” (John 14:27).     

Just think for a sec, how does the world give peace? How is it that in the world we live in we find peace? or better yet how are we led to believe that we have found or will find peace?………….maybe when we have our MBA diploma nicely decorated in a frame? Maybe when we are SURE that we’ll be receiving X amount of $ directly deposited to our checking account every Friday. Maybe when we are in harmony with every family member, friend or co-worker?  Or maybe when we are free of many sicknesses?     

The definition of peace according to dictionary.com: a ”normal, non-warring condition” Christ teaches us that our peace does not rely on earthly situations, catastrophes, richness or pestilences but on his sacrifice: The Cross.
