Finding Peace in RelationshipsNäide

Does my life look different?

Can you imagine a peace so palpable that even the dogs wouldn’t get riled up? My own little dog gets anxious when practically anything happens outside our door.

But our faith in God can produce peace like this—a peace that makes it obvious who we are trusting. This verse points to a key moment before God’s people were rescued from slavery. The Israelites’ situation had not changed yet as of this verse. They were still slaves. Yet, God was working out good in their lives.

God wants there to be a difference in the lives of those who trust him so that others see supernatural peace. How have you seen peace like that in your life or in the life of someone you know who follows Jesus? What was your response when you saw it?

Act

Go to an animal shelter and love on some animals. Notice how it’s not quiet there!

Pray

God, I want a distinct life of peace. Show me how to believe you for your peace.
