Judges 6:24
And Gideon built an altar to the LORD there and named it
Yahweh-Shalom (which means “the LORD is peace”). The altar remains in Ophrah in
the land of the clan of Abiezer to this day.
I haven’t sent out any text messages or blog entry's in a
while, however , I have been examining some things in my life and life around
me.
So often we say we search for peace but we are the ones
causing so much strife and discord. We have been sold a bunch of lies that
everything in our life has to have movement, activity, time and space filler.
The enemy has sold us to smart phones, tv , radio, magazines , books and every
type of media possible.
We also have been sold the lies of having to react to
every emotion. God specifically tells us to guard our hearts, He states to us
we can be angry and not to sin, He says wait on Him and be patient and know he
is God.
In a society filled with everything having to be here and
now , there is no time to rest our minds , souls , emotions.
In my study of what peace truly is , I have found the dictionary term of peace is the absence of strife and discord. This is a good partial understanding. True peace is not possible without the absolute fulfilment of God in all aspects of our lives. Meaning, no matter what chaos is around us that we hold onto tightly and guard our minds , hearts , souls and emotions to a faith that absolutely know GOD is working in our behalf.
Whenever , strife and confusion, discord , bad news , hard emotions face us, were to be patient and continue pray and obeiediant to God and watch Him work in our lives. Without that, all we may have is quiet for a moment.
We are to bring all of our emotions, prayers and supplications to God, good and bad . He sees it all. Allow Him to bring His peace into your heart, soul, mind and body, so that you can have his peace that supersedes our understanding . Amen. Have a blessed day. That is what is going to set us apart!
