John 20:19-22

Locked doors couldn’t keep Jesus out, and fear couldn’t keep Him away. In John 20:19–22, we find the disciples huddled together, afraid and uncertain. But then Jesus came and stood among them. And His first words? “Peace be with you.” He didn’t shame them for their fear or doubt. He met them right where they were in their trembling, in their hiding, in their confusion. And He offered peace. The same Jesus steps into our anxious hearts today, through locked doors of worry and walls built by pain. He breathes peace into our chaos and reminds us we are not alone. His presence changes everything. It strengthens what’s weak, calms what’s restless, and assures us that no situation is too dark for His light. Jesus didn’t wait for the disciples to be brave. He came in their weakness. And He comes to us the same way. Will we let Him in? Will we receive His peace and let it settle over every storm within?

1 Chronicles 22:19

Have you ever felt afraid and abandoned by God? Known the pain of being forgotten and ignored by the One you need the most? I know I have. But the truth is, during those times I found that God wasn’t forgetting me, I was forgetting God. It used to be that I only searched for God when it was convenient for me, and usually when I needed something. When times were good, my relationship with the Lord took the back burner. I would go happily on my way until the next crisis hit. But the Bible tells us we are to constantly search after God. To truly seek Him in good times and bad. To seek God literally means to seek His face, or His presence. And to truly seek Him means having a passion and a hunger burning so deep in your heart and soul that you want to feel His presence not only during times of trouble, but in every minute of every day! A passion that leads to being committed to not merely seeking Him, but in finding Him!
