Dear
Friends,
I hope
you had a great weekend! The devot. for today is finding God's peace in the
midst of turmoil in life.
How do
you gain this peace and then keep it? Jesus said to His disciples in John
14:27,
"Peace I
leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto
you. Let not your heart be
troubled, neither let it be afraid." The Lord can give us a peace that the
world cannot even begin to offer us.
One
of the Lord's titles in Scripture is "The Prince of Peace" (Isaiah 9:6-a
passage you hear frequently at Christmas) and
Ephesians 2:14 says 'he is our peace.' But the only way we can keep this peace
is found in Isaiah 26:3,
"Thou
(the Lord )wilt (will) keep him (anybody) in perfect peace, whose mind
is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee."
The key
to having perfect peace is your mind of Him and Who he is (the Price of Peace).
That peace comes from trusting in Him and is it
"perfect" because is comes from Him!
I pray
the devot. is a blessing! I have also included a fav. hymn about peace that I
will sing if I'm worried or un-peaceful :)
May the
Lord bless, protect and keep healthy you and your family this coming week! (3 links
