Encounter God’s Heart...
His Peace

Allow God’s encouragement to Abram to become your own. All you need is found in the One who taught your heart to beat. And he knows exactly how to get it to you. When you choose him over the many temptations that come your way, he notices. Though no one else may see, God does, and he is so thrilled with your desire toward him.

Beautiful one, fear is not your friend, so don’t embrace it. Turn your full attention to the One who faithfully comes to your rescue. Don’t sink into despair or allow it to steal your identity. Grasp the hand of the Lord, and he will pull you safely into his presence. Into his love. Into his peace that contradicts every trial. You’re allowed to say no to fear. To reject the temptation to overthink, be anxious and overwhelmed. To laugh in the face of adversity. To choose the path that keeps you close to him.

Thank you, Father, when I’m tempted to fear, come with your love and wrap me tight. Pour out the peace that washes away anxiety. In your presence, I remember that you love me. You are my reward. My friend. My Savior. And the tears that sought to drown my faith have become tears of thankfulness.

From "Firstfruits" written by Brian Simmons and Gretchen Rodriguez

Genesis 15:1
The Passion Translation

“Abram, don’t yield to fear, for I am your Faithful Shield and your Abundant Reward.”
