Dear friends, today we gather to meditate on the peace that comes from trusting in God’s perfect plans for our lives. In a world filled with chaos and uncertainty, we can take solace in the assurance that God knows what is best for us and His purposes are always good.

As we reflect on the stories of faith in the Bible, we see how individuals found peace and fulfillment by surrendering their lives to God’s guidance. Consider the example of Moses, who initially doubted his ability to lead the Israelites out of Egypt but ultimately trusted in God’s plan and witnessed His mighty deliverance. Or think of Esther, who risked her life to save her people, knowing that God had placed her in that position for such a time as this.

When we release our worries and fears into God’s hands and trust in His perfect plans, we can find comfort and contentment in His loving care. No matter what challenges we may face, we can take refuge in the knowledge that God is with us, guiding us in His wisdom and love.

Let us draw inspiration from the stories of faith in the Bible and from the testimonies of believers who have experienced God’s faithfulness. By trusting in God’s plans, we can find true peace that surpasses all understanding and experience the joy that comes from walking in His perfect will. May we all have the courage and faith to surrender to God’s guidance and trust that His plans for us are indeed good. Amen.

JESUS IS LORD
