Last week we saw that our peace comes through Christ Jesus and that there are promises to Believers concerning this peace.  

We are assured that we are safe in His hand as we see in the following:
“My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.
 I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone 
 snatch them out of My hand.”  John 10:27-28
He then adds:
“My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one 
 is able to snatch them out of My Father’s hand.”  Vs. 10 

How awesome that so great a God is mindful of mere man.  It brings to mind Psalm 139.  Let’s read again these verses David sang that tell us just how intimate All Mighty God is with us.

“O LORD, you have searched me and know me!
 You know when I sit down and when I rise up;
 You discern my thoughts from afar.
 You search out my path and my lying down
 And are acquainted with all my ways.
 Even before a word is on my tongue,
 Behold, O LORD, You know it altogether.
 You hem me in, behind and before,
 And lay Your hand upon me.
 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me;
 It is high; I cannot attain it.  Vs. 1-6

 Where shall I go from Your Spirit?
 Or where shall I flee from Your presence?
 If I ascend to heaven, You are there!
 If I make my bed in Sheol, You are there!
 If I take the wings of morning
 And dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea,
 Even there Your hand shall lead me,
 And Your right hand shall hold me.
 If I say, ‘Surely the darkness will cover me,
 Even the night shall be light about me;
 Indeed, the darkness shall not hide from You,
 But the night shines as the day;
 The darkness and the light are both alike to You.  Vs. 7-12

 For You formed my inward parts ;
 You knitted me together in my mother’s womb.
 I praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.
 Wonderful are Your works;
 My soul knows it very well.
 My frame was not hidden from You,
 When I was being made in secret,
 Intricately woven in the depths of the earth.
 Your eyes saw my unformed substance;
 In Your book were written, everyone of them,
 The days that were formed for me,
 When as yet there were none of them. Vs. 13-16

 How precious to me are Your thoughts O God!
 How vast is the sum of them!
 If I should count them, they are more than the sand.
 When I awake, I am still with You.”  Vs. 17-18

In verses 23-24 is David’s prayer that God would search his heart.  
(We looked into David’s prayer a few weeks ago.)

So we take comfort in the words of Jesus in John 14:27 as He tells us,
“My peace I leave you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you.  Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.”

Hallelujah!  We are His eternally, in His care eternally.  As Paul says in Romans 8:31,
“…If God is for us, who can be against us?.”
All praise, honor and glory to our Lord and our God!  Amen
