The word for today is - Peace!

Good morning,

The word for today is - Peace!

 

God promises to give us peace. Can we look toward the future with hope, regardless of life and the world's circumstances? Yes ! The world around us is forever changing, but God does not change. He is steady, reliable. God says, "Is there any God besides me? No! there is no other Rock; I know not one. For I, the Lord, do not change." God is always there. He can be counted on. He is "the same yesterday and today, and forever." And God can make himself known, giving us a peace of mind through him. God has said, "My peace I give to you; not as the world gives, do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled. In the world you have tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome the world." Did you get that?We have to learn that no matter what happens in this life, it's not "the end of the world" because this world isn't the end. Many people wait until times get really rough before they turn to God.That's okay, because God says,turn to me and be saved. If you don't have peace ask youself why? And how many times have you when shopping, or dated a person or visited a place and walked away feeling more empty than when you began? Most often lack of peace results simply from the absence of God in our lives. No matter what the future holds, we can place our hope in God. He's waiting ! If you will turn to him and seek him, you will find him. It is shaky ground to put our hope and faith in ourselves, in other people, or in anything this world offers. Instead, he wants us to trust in him. He says, Everyone who hears these words of mine, and acts upon them, may be compared to a wise man, who built his house upon the rock. And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and burst against that house; and yet it did not fall, for it had been founded upon the rock. And everyone who hears these words of mine, and does not act upon them, will be like a foolish man, who built his house upon the sand. And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and burst against that house; and it fell, and great was its fall. Do you not know that there is someone who would never leave you or forsake you? And that someone is Jesus! Read Hebrews 13:5 and Psalms 68:5 which says, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee and ( I AM ) is a father of the fatherless, and a judge of the widows,this is God in his holy habitation.No matter what happens in the world around us, there is peace of mind knowing that God is always with us. That should give you peace! Thank you God for your word. Amen !
