God's Peace and His Love

  • I have been thinking about what I will write this week in light of current events and some personal issues also.  I realized the Promises of God is a perfect topic.  

    #6  I will give you peace
    One of my favorite verses is Philippians 4:6 NLT “Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand.  His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.”  I have felt peace during tumultuous times that could only come from God.  On my own I would be a basket case!

    John 16:33 “ I have told you all this so that you may have peace in me.  Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows.  But take heart, because I have overcome the world.”

    What an amazing reassurance that He – our God, is in control.  We don’t have to feel depressed or mad when the world seems out of control.  I have to confess, on Wednesday, I was feeling depressed.  Words from friends and scripture refreshed my soul, and gave me peace once again.  I can trust that God is on the throne and HE is in control!

    Romans 15:13 TPT “Now may God, the inspiration and fountain of hope, fill you to overflowing with uncontainable joy and perfect peace as you trust in Him.  And may the power of the Holy Spirit continually surround your life with his super-abundance until you radiate with hope!”  And finally, John 14:27 TPT “I leave the gift of peace with you- my peace.  Not the kind of fragile peace given by the world, but my perfect peace.  Don’t yield to fear or be troubled in your hearts-instead, be courageous!”

    #7  I will always love you
    What a “peaceful” way to end.  No matter what is happening in our lives, God Loves Us!!
    Even me, who has sinned, repented, failed again, been redeemed.  All of this is absolutely mind-blowing.  Through it all, God continues to love me and bring me closer to Him.
    Psalm 136:4 TPT “give thanks to the only miracle working God!  His tender love for us continues on forever!”  Psalms 136:23 “He’s the God who chose us when we were nothing!  His tender love for us continues on forever!”  Psalms 117:2 NLT “for His unfailing love for us is powerful; the Lord’s faithfulness endures forever.” 1John 3:1a “See how very much our Father loves us, for He calls us His children, and that is what we are!”


    And the ultimate proof that God love us: Romans 5:8 Amp “But God clearly shows and proves His own love for us, by the fact that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us”

    I want to end with Psalms 138:2 NLT “I bow before your holy Temple as I worship.  I praise your name for your unfailing love and faithfulness; for your promises are backed by all the honor of your name.”

    With this assurance we can believe God’s promises are for us and apply them to our lives.  Thank you Father God!


    Stay Well, Stay Safe

Spiritual Discernment

Image
I have been thinking about discernment lately. The dictionary defines discernment as  “The act or process of exhibiting keen insight and good judgment” With the amount of information that has been given to us the past 2-3 months on the Corona Virus, discernment has been increasingly important.       “Is the virus real?”       “Who is at risk?  Am I at risk?”       “Should we stay home?”  “Is it OK to go grocery shopping?”       “Should we wear masks?”       “Is it all a conspiracy to control us?” All of these questions and concerns have come at us from TV and newspaper, social media and friends.  I have gone from feeling fear to having faith, from extreme concern to throwing caution to the wind, from anxiety to confidence.   All ‘feelings’.  After praying and reading the word, I am able to put those feelings aside and trust the Lord.  This is my guiding scripture:      “Trust in the Lord with all you heart and lean not on you       own understanding.  In

No Fear

As I was reading my Bible today, Psalm 18:1-2 popped out at me.  This is a Psalm of David  that he sang to the Lord after the Lord rescued him from all his enemies and from Saul. He sang: “I love you, Lord; you are my strength. (2)The Lord is my rock, my fortress, and my savior; my God is my rock, in whom I find protection.  He is my shield, the power that saves me, and my place of safety.”  This is such a good word of reassurance and encouragement. Have you ever felt afraid and powerless?  Frightened of a situation or for a loved one?  I have.   I have not been fearful for my life by another person, but there have been accidents and illnesses that have caused me to be afraid. There have been times not knowing about the safety of a loved one that has caused anxiety and feelings of impending tragedy.  Sometimes it was warranted and sometimes it was my mind imagining the worst.  My mind can go from OK to the worst case scenario in a matter of seconds!   During those times I need to reme

Advent Week 4 - Love

Image
  Happy Christmas Eve Day,                                                   December 24, 2021 It is hard for me to believe it is Christmas again.   As I sit here looking at my Christmas tree in my new home I truly feel incredibly blessed.   It has been an amazing year for us. As I continue looking at Advent, the fourth week of Advent is the Angel Candle or candle of Love.   As Believers in Jesus, we know the Christmas Celebration is about Jesus and His love for us.   He left His Father to come to earth as a baby born in a humble stable.   We celebrate His birth and later His resurrection because our faith is based on this belief.   It is only because of His love for us that He was willing to live a human life.   Our love for Him acknowledges our acceptance and belief in Jesus as our Savior.   The middle white candle is traditionally lit on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day.   It is the Christ Candle.   It is the Christ Candle because it is only in Christ that we find the Hope, P
