“But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.” (Isaiah 40:31)

Sometimes people think that they will be at peace when they are debt-free, or when they get their dream job, or when they meet the perfect partner, or when they obtain their dream home, or when they have children, or when their business becomes more successful, or when they obtain a degree, or when they are cured of an incurable disease, or when they lose weight, or when they get this, or when they get that.
However, the time to be at peace is not when you get all the things you have desired from this life. People tend to pin their peace on external things, but there’s no guarantee that you will get to achieve all that you have set out to achieve in your life-time. Therefore, to find inner peace, you have to search deep within, as peace is intrinsically designed.
What happen when you lose that house, or your business falls into a recession, or you run into debt, or you get a divorce? Achieving those external factors will only bring temporary peace. You have to build your peace around the “Prince of Peace.”
In John 14:27, Jesus reminded you that, “My peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world gives you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.”
Notice here, that Jesus stated that the peace He left with you, is not like the peace that the world gives you. He already knew that the peace of this world is temporary, and won’t last. His peace is everlasting, and when all those material and external things are shattered along with your dreams, you can still find that peace deep within, that Jesus provided. May His perfect peace continues to guide your path today.
You will find peace not by trying to escape your problems, but by confronting them courageously. You will find peace not in denial, but in victory.
As I reflect on these five simple, but very important and powerful words, “No More Hurting People – Peace,” I sense that these words have been very prophetic, and God is saying to the world, enough is enough. These prophetic words came from none other than a beautiful boy by the name of Martin Richards, one of the victims, who, unfortunately did not survive the Boston Marathon Bombings on April 15, 2013.
Nonetheless, his message is a powerful reminder to the world, that it is not okay to go around causing terrors, mayhem, and hurt. It’s a call for peace from a young eight year old boy. This was no coincidence that Martin wrote those five simple, but powerful words some time before his death. Martin had been on this earth for a purpose, to carry a message of peace and love. He skillfully crafted two signs of love on either side of his poster sign, which also serves as a powerful reminder, that a little child shall lead us. (Isaiah 11:6) As his parents’ message stated, “He’s now at peace.”
With all the terrors, mayhem, and hurt that continue to plague our world, let us be reminded of the peace that Jesus has already left with us, so that we should not be troubled, or become afraid. In John 14:27, the Scripture states, “My peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world gives you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.”
Let us all continue to pray for all those who have been victims of the Boston Marathon Bombings, but most importantly, let us all continue to pray for peace.
