Psalm 29:11

The LORD will give strength unto His people; the LORD will bless His people with peace.

 

Peace of mind is difficult to put a price upon.  You might ask yourself, “what is peace of mind worth to you?”  

The state of peace in mind, heart, and soul, could mean different things to different people.  But, one thing we could possibly all agree upon is, that peace, is a state of being, that supersedes all else.  It is that peace of mind that brings joy, and a sense of tranquility, that touches our daily life all through our days…no matter the circumstances, because of our faith.

Sadly, there are many of our brothers and sisters who do not know “peace” and wander aimlessly through life, stumbling in the darkness.  They might not know what one day to the next will bring, they have no sense of worth, or anticipation of what’s to come.  One day is the same as the last, or the next, for those who don’t know the LORD, or His love and peace.

These people, who do not know Him, are those that we would like to plant seeds of truth with.  It becomes our purpose to lift those out of the darkness, wanting them to experience truth, light and peace of mind.

Peace allows us to sleep well and brings a huge sense of comfort to our entire being.

When we lay down and pray to the LORD to watch over us,  those of faith truly believe, and realize that we will be safely under His mighty powerful wings of protection.

I will lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, LORD, only makest me dwell in safety. Psalm 4:8

When we give the LORD our problems, and cast them to Him, we can reap the rewards of His love. He cares for us and wants us to know Him, and His everlasting joy.

Worship Him and give Him thanks…meditate upon His word, and know His glory.

Follow His word and live a life of peace, prosperity and love.

Give Him your whole being, mind, heart and soul. Surrender to His will,  and seek His face in all that you do, and realize the power of His magnificence and loving character.

Give unto the LORD, O ye mighty, give unto the LORD glory and strength. Give unto the LORD the glory due unto His name; worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness. The voice of the LORD is upon the waters: the God of glory thunderth: the LORD is upon many waters. The voice of the LORD is powerful; the voice of the LORD is full of majesty.  

Psalm 29:1-4

 

Ask God for His perfect peace, ask God for His wisdom.

Don’t do things of your own accord, or try to be wise in your own eyes…because without Him or His mercy, we can’t do anything.

The LORD’s wisdom is a valuable tool and a gift, and we are nothing without it.

Wisdom is in everything we do…all the days of our life.

In Proverbs, wisdom is magnified in the majority of the book…God’s wisdom so very important.

He doesn’t want us to depart from it, Him or His word.   All three are components of need—His will and love—are the topping on the cake to complete the ingredients of His peace.

“My son, let not them depart from thine eyes; keep sound wisdom and discretion.  
So shall they be life unto thy soul, and grace to thy neck.

Then shalt thou walk in thy way safely, and thy foot shall not stumble.”

Proverbs 3:21-23

 

Don’t toss all night long, don’t worry or fear.

Speak to the LORD, our merciful and loving Father.

Tell Him of your troubles, He knows your heart.

Ask for forgiveness, and turn everything over to Him.

After you’ve done all that you can…He is the One that will handle it exclusively, and resolve it entirely.

God can handle it, we can’t…but our Father in heaven can!

“When thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid: yea, thou shalt die down, and thy sleep shall be sweet.”  Proverbs 3:24

Learn His commandments and keep them in your heart.  Lean on Him…trust Him…love Him.

If ye love Me, keep my commandments. John 14:15

When we listen, learn, meditate, and open our hearts to the Father, and His precious Son, our Savior…we feel joy.  It is complete. He alone brings peace of mind and comfort through the Spirit.

It is a clear choice and for most a no-brainer!

Jesus’ peace is not of this world.

The world is turmoil.   The world is filled with chaos and dismay.

Jesus is PEACE.

“Peace I leave with you, My peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.”  John 14:27

 

Take a look in the mirror.

We are made in God’s image…and His Spirit, when we accept Him in our lives, dwells with us and will never leave us.

Our priorities should be HIM FIRST, all things second.

When we live in the Spirit, we have peace.

If we center our lives with the LORD as our FIRST PRIORITY, we will find eternal life and peace of mind.

Put your spirit in charge of your flesh, especially now, in these difficult days of trouble in the world.

When we shun evil, revere God, and seek His face and His commandments…life will be just that…LIFE!

 

Amen!
