Trust the Son
Have you ever seen two people that needed to be on the same page about something, but just weren’t? Maybe it was your parents, your boss and your boss’ boss, or two friends. You had a question, so you asked one person and got one answer, but then you got a completely different answer from the other. How confusing is that?
That is something that never happens with God and His Son, Jesus.
John 3:34-35 (NIV) tells us, "For the one whom God has sent speaks the words of God, for God gives the Spirit without limit. The Father loves the Son and has placed everything in his hands." These verses show us how special Jesus is to God and how much power and love God has given Him.
Jesus speaks the words of God, knows the will of God, and has the power of God. They are always on the same page.
Because Jesus speaks the words of God, we can trust that everything He says is true and reflects who God is accurately.
Because Jesus has the power of God, we can believe that what He says will come to pass.
God loves Jesus. God speaks through Jesus. This means we can trust Jesus completely. He has all the power and authority and is speaking Truth because what He speaks is directly from God.

The Bible teaches about this kind of peace. Philippians 4:7 describes the peace of God. No amount of self-talk or meditation can manufacture this kind of peace—it only can come from God Himself. Preacher and theologian Charles Spurgeon described this kind of peace as the perfect calm and happiness of God, who is always content.
This peace transcends all understanding. It's the idea that something goes beyond our normal way of thinking. That is a beautiful description of what God’s peace does. It exceeds our understanding and surpasses anything we could expect or imagine. It also guards and protects our hearts and minds.
How do we get this kind of peace? The surrounding verses in Philippians offer guidance. Philippians 4:6 tells us to take every anxious thought and turn it into a ...
