Once we are convinced that Jesus is our Savior, trust is demonstrated through action. As “new creatures” (2 Corinthians 5:17), we will have a fresh perspective and different values. Jesus, our Lord, now has authority over our life, and He alone deserves to be our highest priority.

Commentary from the In Touch devotional by Charles Stanley, April 28, 2021.
A peaceful life is impossible without confidence in the Lord. That trust is built through a relationship with Him-praying through trials and triumphs, seeking His guidance, and testing His Word to see that it is true and practical for life.
When we’ve experienced God’s faithfulness and believe He will continue to act on behalf of His followers (Isaiah 64:4), that’s when peace is possible. In fact, it is not only possible but promised to the believer who trusts in Him (Philippians 4:6-7). But unshakable peace isn’t instantaneous; it is cultivated through a consistent relationship with the Lord.
