6 Be careful for nothing;
but in every thing
by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving
let your requests be made known unto God.
7 And the peace of God,
which passeth all understanding,
shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
After the resurrection, Jesus showed up at the sea of Tiberias.
He dined with his apostles, and spoke with them.
He also told Peter something defining.
It's an answer to all our daily concerns, anxieties, curiosities, and apprehensions about most things in this world.
Observe the concern of Peter:
John 21:20-21 (KJV)
20 Then Peter,
turning about,
seeth the disciple whom Jesus loved following;
which also leaned on his breast at supper,
and said,
Lord,
which is he that betrayeth thee?
21 Peter seeing him saith to Jesus,
Lord,
and what shall this man do?
To which, the Lord answered:
John 21:22 (KJV)
22 Jesus saith unto him,
If I will that he tarry till I come,
what is that to thee?
follow thou me.
In effect, the Lord was admonishing him, that it must not concern him.
"what is that to thee?"
All Jesus cared about is this:
"follow thou me"
That's really all the Lord cares about.
After having given up His life.
After saving us from our sins.
After defeating the devil.
After conquering death.
After fulfilling Scripture.
After giving us the promise of eternal life.
Our victory is in Jesus.
He has already conquered the world, and the prince of it.
John 16:33 (KJV)
33 These things I have spoken unto you,
that in me ye might have peace.
In the world ye shall have tribulation:
but be of good cheer;
I have overcome the world.
We are only to focus on Jesus, from this day, hereon.
Colossians 3:1-2 (KJV)
3 If ye then be risen with Christ,
seek those things which are above,
where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.
2 Set your affection on things above,
not on things on the earth.
When you do, the SPIRIT of CHRIST will come upon you, and teach you ALL things.
This GIFT from GOD will direct every step you need to take.
All will become clear for you.
