February 2nd , 2018 First Friday in February 2018.
The 12 Promises of the Sacred Heart of Jesus: Jesus promised 12 special favors to all those who will honor His Sacred Heart especially on the First Friday of every month. In the 2nd month of the year 2018, we look at Promise #2.
#2. "I will give peace to their families.
What is peace?
"You will guard him and keep him in perfect and constant peace whose mind [both its inclination and its character] is stayed on You, because he commits himself to You, leans on You, and hopes confidently in You." (Isaiah 26: 3 AMP).
How would you like to enjoy this peace?
Why is it so important for families?
Peace is the foundation for joy, happiness and prosperity. The all encompassing Shalom that Jesus promises will make a great difference to you and your family.
"Perfect peace, inward peace, outward peace, peace with God, peace of conscience, peace at all times, under all events; this peace shall be put into, and kept in the possession of, whose mind is stayed upon God, because it trusts in him." (Matthew Henry on Isaiah 26: 3).
“Peace I bequeath to you, my own peace I give you, a peace the world cannot give, this is my gift to you. Do not let your hearts be troubled or afraid.” (John 14: 27)
Peace and contentment do not depend on circumstances. No, they do not depend on money, good health, great family, good job, nice home and tools. Peace and contentment depend on what Jesus, our hope of glory is doing inside us here and now. Where Jesus abides, there abide peace and contentment.
Jesus is the direct and efficient cause of peace and contentment in the heart. Any other presumed cause or agent is there to exploit our weakness and insecurity.
Honor the Sacred Heart of Jesus on Friday, February 2nd.
