EPISODE 0048 | Hold Your Peace
THESE NOTES ACCOMPANY EPISODE 0048
What does peace look like when your world is falling apart? In today's episode, Pastor Stephen challenges us to rethink our understanding of peace by examining the Israelites’ encounter with the Red Sea. With enemies closing in and no way out, God instructed them to do something unexpected—hold their peace. But how do we hold onto peace when life feels chaotic? Discover practical steps to surrender control, stay anchored in faith, and experience true, lasting peace even in the face of life's toughest challenges.
True peace is not the absence of trouble.
You must learn to enjoy your life while God is in the process of changing your life. God is the One who gives us peace, but we have to guard our hearts and thoughts in the process.
How to Hold Your Peace:
1. Surrender control
Romans 8:28 says: And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.
2. Focus on God
Philippians 4:6-7: Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; 7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
3. Spend time with God
Isaiah 26:3 says: You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You.
