Romans 5:1
Therefore, since we have been made right in God’s sight by faith, we have peace with God because of what Jesus Christ our Lord has done for us.

I passed through our living area this morning and caught a glimpse of Mabel, our calico cat, lying atop a throw that was folded over the back of our couch.  She looked so serene… all is well in her little world.  She knows that she is fed and cared for… that we love her to the moon and back.  She wants for nothing and trusts us for everything.  And unless one of our kids is chasing her or she thinks our “tuxedo cat” Lucy might get a morsel of extra chow, she is at peace.
 
What about you?  Do you have peace in your life?  Do you feel God’s love and care?  Are you confident that Jesus has paid the price for you – your sins and shortcomings – so that you can handle whatever “life” and the devil throw at you with hope and courage?  Do you want for nothing and trust God for everything?  Isn’t it time you did?
