Know Peace

Know Peace

 Peace is a product of love. Only through deep love will you discover God and in God there is peace. God is love. Pour out love with legs one to another and don’t expect anything in return. When we love with conditions attached, our unmet expectations can create inner turmoil and feelings of resentment. A mind without the security of knowing God is grieved. It has no lasting peace.

 Those who love one another are heard laughing often. Peace of mind is better when you have a laughter-filled life. Laughter is a great antidote for stress and releases hormones that help us relax. (Ecclesiastes 3:4) “A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance”

Instead of worrying about the past or panicking about the future, enjoy the here and now while looking toward a perfected eternal life. Jesus said, “your time is always.” That’s all we have — this moment in time.

Romans 13:11 “And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. 

2 Corinthians 6:2 “(...have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.)”

 When we fully concentrate on the present, the concerns of the past and worries of the future can’t stagger us. (Psalms 118:24) “This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.” There are some things that you just cannot change, no matter how hard you try. 

Tribulation generates patience, be mindful and enjoy your Christian life in the moment with love, joy, and understanding. (Romans 2:7) “ To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life: (James 1:4) “But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.”

The most important ways to achieve peace of mind involve holding fast your belief. Life is uncertain and changes certain. (Revelation 3:11) “Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.” 

 1 John 4:12 “No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us.” (1 John 4:18) “There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear:”

 Now I say: (Thessalonians 3:5) “And the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the patient waiting for Christ.” (2 Samuel 22:33) “God is my strength and power: and he maketh my way perfect.” 

Know God, know peace. Amen. 06/08/21 BLL

Thy will be Done...the Wayfarer 3/15/19

Thy will be Done 3/15/19 Matthew 6:9-13 King James Version (KJV) 9  After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. 10  Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. 11  Give us this day our daily bread. 12  And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. 13  And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen. The "model " prayer, given us by Jesus, repeated daily throughout the world, by many denomination and sect, though seldom examined by those parroting the words is NOT an empty example that is to be followed by congregant, memorized by children and adult alike.  It is exactly the opposite of that emptiness, holding the essence of what SHOU LD be in the heart of the one praying. It is GOD'S will that need be sought, not just daily, but continually by all wishing an audience wit

Promise

By -
  Promise Only God can soothe the striving, immortal soul. He made the heart for His glory. Only He can fill it with peace and love. That is a promise that He made to those who fulfill His purpose in our creation. Though it is a simple manner to return to God and serve His purpose he is a complex ruler of the universe. A God of peace, a God of war, he cuddles His own and chastens them. The enemy of God can expect stern reduction in numbers beneath His two edged sword. We are to walk circumspectly in his ways, rightly dividing the instructions in His Word. As iron sharpens iron, Christians sharpen one another. We must police our own. Consider this: Two little children went into the creek side meadow to run and play. Adults knew the danger but hoped they would be okay. Then from his lyrein in the clift above, the dragon came out to sun. Oh! The prayers the adults sent up to God for the children’s safety. But the dragon knew no God. He ate the children and returned to his den to

A Giving Heart

By -
  A GIVING HEART “ Then the people rejoiced, for that they offered willingly, because with perfect heart they offered willingly to the LORD: and David the king also rejoiced with great joy.” (1 Chronicles 29:9) Israel’s people brought gifts for the construction of the holy temple in Jerusalem, it is mentioned no less than six times in this chapter that their offerings were willing offerings. In fact, they were not only willing but it also brought rejoicing in their hearts. They were building a worship house. It was a sacred place, a place belonging to all who would come to worship. Joyful giving is not the usual response to a fundraising effort for a religious cause by modern church leaders. The parishioners follow the attitude of their chosen pastors and often the pastor tickles their ears to encourage giving. The great proliferation of solicitation of money today by media broadcast has developed a growing cynicism in Christians toward all tithing. Further, misuse of col
