Peace. Isn't that a beautiful, calming word?
I know our Father, the Creator, has given me all the peace He is going to give me. Do I feel it every day or every hour? Not necessarily. Why? Because it's my choice, or lack thereof, not to receive. And it's the enemy trying to kill, steal and destroy.
John 14:27 "Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid."
If someone gave you a precious gift, such as peace, would you resist it? Would you allow someone else, whom you know to be an enemy, to walk up and take it away from you? Probably not.
Why not accept the tremendous gift from the Lord? Why allow satan or anyone else steal your peace?
Philippians 4:6-8 "Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable -- if anything is excellent or praiseworthy -- think about such things."
Life consists of choices. We then accept the consequences, positive and negative, of our choices.
Choose peace in 2014. Accept the peace of God. I know I certainly am.
Prayerfully, your sister in Him,
Robin
