Commands and Promises

John 14:15-16

Jesus said, "If you love me keep my commandments. And I will ask the Father and He will give you another Advocate, who will never leave you.

John 14:27
Jesus said, "I am leaving you a gift-peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give. So don't be troubled or afraid.

As I was reading my devotions for the day, my thoughts turned toward the chapter we have been studying for the last two weeks (Paying Your Light Bill.) The focus of this chapter is on obedience to God and what God expects from us when we are tested and tried.

As I read these verses I was comforted by the Word. I was reminded that God is always with me and my obedience to His commands is a tangible way that I can show God I love Him. He has promised to give me peace of mind and heart. Wow! What an awesome thing to have in the troubled world that we live in. God's Word says that I do not have to be troubled or afraid and if you are His child neither do you.

This week we will be studying Chapter 7 (Standing in the Line of Fire.) Read along with us and come back and visit the blog for highlights of this chapter. Feel free to post your comments about this chapter as well.
