Bible Verse of The Day – 8-7-19

Philippians 4:6-7 (NKJV) 6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; 7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

We teach a lot about God’s peace. It’s a very major factor in our own lives. It has transformed us and the way we react to things. It has also incredibly changed the way we see things.

It has so reshaped our lives that we find it critically important to share it with you as often as possible, in ways that will help everyone get a better understanding of it.

We have learned that where God is, there is peace. Where there is no peace, God is not there. It’s very simple yet profound at the same time.

What is it about this peace that makes it so special? It’s not of this world. It’s truly a spiritual phenomenon that can’t be 100% explained by words. But let’s give it a try and see if we can make it easier to understand and apply to our lives.

God’s peace doesn’t come because we follow a certain pattern or go through a predefined set of steps.

It doesn’t happen when we reach a specific milestone in our Christian walk.

And it doesn’t mysteriously appear just because we read or study a specific set of scriptures.

Here’s the easiest way we can explain it. God’s peace comes when we reach a point in our walk where we trust Him, no matter what we see happening around us.

It doesn’t mean that we become indifferent and simply brush everything off, especially when it comes to the things we see others going through.

On the contrary, as we grow in God, our compassion and love for others will grow stronger.

And our desire to do the right thing will become more pronounced in our own lives. We will become acutely aware of right and wrong, making every effort to do what is good and right in God’s eyes.

But when the storms of life come crashing upon us and those we love, we will understand and recognize that, ultimately, we are in God’s hands, and He is stronger than any trial we face.

Yes, we may still experience fear now and then, especially during those most difficult trials. But the peace of God will ultimately drive that fear away if we let it.

The peace of God is undeniably bigger than you and me, and it is something that we could never fully explain, especially to unbelievers. But as children of God, it is something that we all need to learn to walk in, letting it sweep away our doubts, our fears and our unbelief.

Bible Verse of The Day – 4-3-19

John 14:27 (NKJV) 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.

Peace: freedom from disturbance; tranquility, restfulness, lack of anxiety.

The world pursues peace. We hear about it literally every day on a global level.

Individuals pursue peace on a personal level. We all desire peace in one way or another.

And yet peace seems to elude most who seek it. Why? Because most of us look for it in the wrong places or by the wrong means.

True, lasting peace only comes from one Source; Jesus Christ.

When we commune with God, we become one with Him. His spirit gives us peace of mind. But it gives so much more.

God gives us freedom, through Christ; release from the things that try to weigh us down and keep us in bondage.

Think about it. The world has removed God from just about everything they can remove Him from. They’ve kicked Him out. And yet they still seek peace, to no avail.

Church, we have the key to peace; Jesus.

It’s up to us to share this peace with others. We do this by living it out on a daily basis, loving people, demonstrating His peace in our everyday lives, even when the world seems like it’s falling apart.

There is much to be said for being a walking, talking testimony of His love, which brings a peace that surpasses understanding!

Philippians 4:6-7 (NKJV) 6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; 7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

Bible Verse of The Day – 2-21-18

1 Peter 3:11 (NKJV) 11 Let him turn away from evil and do good; Let him seek peace and pursue it.

The more of God we get in us, the more at peace we will be.

How do we get more of God? We turn away from evil ways and do good.

Sin is what puts distance between us and God. If we can be fresh in His word every day, through reading and prayer, our spirit will be quick to listen and hear what the Holy Spirit is reminding us of; what to do and NOT to do.

The Holy Spirit will convict us, whether we are in the process of doing something or just starting to do something, He doesn’t care. He will let us know.

He doesn’t wait for a convenient time. He just moves, and we are to listen and act accordingly.

For instance, maybe we are out and about among friends, and they seem to be having fun. Maybe they begin doing things that we know aren’t good. But the next thing we know, we are going along with it all.

It’s in those moments when we get tempted or off track, and we start to go down the wrong road, that He will pipe up, tap us on the shoulder or quicken our spirit. And He will remind us who we are in Christ.

It doesn’t matter to Him who may get offended by it. He’s there to be our Helper and He does an excellent job of it.

None of us are perfect. God knows when we are slipping and need Help. Stay in His word. Be prayerful and listen when He is tapping us on our shoulder. Turn away from what is wrong and do what is good.

Seek peace and pursue it! Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 1-12-18

Philippians 4:7 (NKJV) 7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

Having a drive for something is OK, as long as it is what God wants for us. If it’s not what God wants for us it can be very dangerous. It can make a mess of things quickly and we will lose our peace.

For example, maybe we want a specific position, or maybe a material item.

Watch out for the phrase, “oh, wouldn’t that be nice”. That can be the beginning of an unnecessary drive, a waste of valuable time, for something that’s not meant for us.

We may catch ourselves starting to go down that road and digging deeper, trying to find out more about it. The next thing we know we are spending all our time and effort trying to make it happen, trying to possess it and make it ours.

Whenever we want or think we need something so badly, it will begin to drive us. It’s crucial that our drive be aimed toward the things that God wants for us. Nothing else.

One way to check ourselves at any point in time is to pull back and say, “hold on, wait a minute, I need to make sure this is right for me”.

If we can’t do that, and we just keep plowing our way through, trying everything we can to make it happen, then we are most likely being driven by our motives, our wants and our desires. God is not a part of it. It’s all us.

To keep this from happening, we have to keep an eye on our hearts during the process. How? By keeping ourselves accountable.

Make sure we are taking time with God, and we don’t just push Him off and ignore His promptings, His warnings, and His red flags. Be aware and alert throughout the whole process, making sure His peace is present and prevalent.

He has no problem helping us to know if we are getting ready to make a BIG mistake. We just have to pay attention to the signs, use wisdom and take action to stay on the right track.

If we are being driven today by something that is not going to be right for us, we need to stop, no matter how far in we are. Then we need to pull back and take some time to get God’s direction. He is faithful to help us see clearly and bring understanding, as long as we’re willing to listen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 5-28-15

Philippians 4:7 (NKJV) 7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

It’s God’s peace that keeps us on the right track. Having His peace leads us into making the right decisions and doing the right things.

I know that there have been many times when have I wanted to make my own decisions, without consulting Him first, because I feared the answer He would give me would be something I wouldn’t want to hear. I’ve paid the price at times because of this, and have many regrets.

What would we rather have, God’s peace or to be doing what we want to do? We are the only ones that can answer this question for ourselves.

If we want to walk in God’s peace, there may be times we will have to say no to things we would love to be doing, and it will be pretty tempting to do the opposite. But when we walk in the peace of God, and experience the feeling it brings, we will never want to go back to walking outside of it.

There will be sacrifices we will make at times to continually stay in His peace, but it will be well worth it!!

Choose God’s peace today. Amen.
