Lucy's Inner Peace
In one Peanuts cartoon Lucy says to Charlie Brown, ''I hate everything. I hate everybody. I hate the whole wide world!''
Charlie says, ''But I thought you had inner peace.''
Lucy replies, ''I do have inner peace. But I still have outer obnoxiousness.''
The Martyrdom of Nicholas Ridley
In 1555, Dr. Nicholas Ridley was sentenced to be burned at the stake in England because of his witness for Christ. On the night before Ridley's execution, his brother offered to remain with him in the prison chamber to be of assistance and comfort. Nicholas Ridley declined the offer saying, ''I intend (God willing) to go to bed, and sleep as quietly tonight, as ever I did.'' Because he knew the peace of God, he could rest in the strength of the everlasting arms of his Lord to meet his need.
Most of us will never face a trial of our faith that is quite that severe, yet all of us go through difficult times. During those times, we have the opportunity to fix our minds on God and receive His peace.
Jhn 14:27 KJV - Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
Phl 4:7 KJV - And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
