Good morning beloved
I pray that God's peace would rest with you today and the rest of the days of your life.
Imagine this it was part of the blessing that God instructed the priests to pronounce on the people:
Numbers 6:22 - 26
22 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
23 Speak unto Aaron and unto his sons, saying, On this wise ye shall bless the children of Israel, saying unto them,
24 The Lord bless thee, and keep thee:
25 The Lord make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee:
26 The Lord lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace.
The words of Christ
John 14:27
27 Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid
Truly many may ask how can we really have peace in these troubling perilous times?
1 First and foremost we need to be connected to the only source of true and lasting peace - God himself. He is known as Jehovah Shalom our peace. Peace is an aspect of the character and nature of God and you inherit this peace as you become adopted into the sonship
2 Each day we must choose to remain in God's peace - the first thing I like to do every morning is to take my thoughts captive to the obedience of Christ. I will not accept all the thoughts that arise as the enemy continues his battle with his onslaught of ungodly thoughts. If we agree with the lies and accusations the enemy sends, then, we begin the pathway into defeat. Let us proactively undergird our hearts and mind with the word of God. Amen
3 The word gives us the instruction to think on these things: The inference to draw is we can therefore choose what we think on
Phillipians 4
8 Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things.
9 The things which you learned and received and heard and saw in me, these do
AND I LOVE THE END RESULT OF CHOOSING TO THINK ALLIGNED TO GOD'S WILL
Verse 9b states
and the God of peace will be with you.
Shalom beloved friends
May God's peace rest and remain with you now and forevermore
Walk good in Christ
Till we meet again
