Our hope as christians is the peace of God. We must not be living in luxurious houses; we might not be driving prestigious cars, but our hope is this - the peace of God. They might not want to give us space in the world; those in power might work against us, but this is our hope - the peace of God.
What is your hope? What do you put your trust in? Who are you trusting on? Only in God can you have a reliable hope? The hope which people obtain from the world will fail them one day. If you trust in man, man will fail you. If you trust in money, money will fail you. If you run after politicians, they will leave you behind. It is only in God which we can have a reliable hope.
There are many situations in the world that cause us to worry. There are many problems that make life unfavorable to us. We need to cast our cares on God because he cares for us. We need to trust in God. When we trust in God, the peace of God that passes all understanding will guard our hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.
