Peace and Power

Over the past three years, we have seen unprecedented growth at Covenant Life. It has been a productive, fruitful and exciting season, but it has also been unbelievably painful and difficult. Amid the challenges we have faced collectively and as individuals, we can take comfort in knowing that God sees our sacrifice. He sees the losses you’ve experienced, the battles you’ve fought and the storms you’ve faced. He knows the fear, dread and uncertainty you may be facing now. In John 14:26-27, Jesus says that He has a give for us: His perfect peace. That peace has the ability to give us calm in every circumstance and courage and strength in every challenge. Nothing on earth can help with the battles and storms of life. It may ease the burden for a moment, but nothing truly satisfies, heals or makes the situation better. This week, we can be encouraged, knowing that we can overcome our fear by accepting what Jesus is offering and consistently relying on Him.
