How Important Is Your Peace to you?

The heavens declare the glory of God and the firmament sheweth His handiwork.  Psalm 19:1

PEACE:  calm repose - Who's Responsible for Your Peace? 

Today I would like to present two (2) questions to my readers. 

1.  How important is peace to you? 

2.  Who's responsible for your peace?

Is peace a specter of the mind like many people say or can we genuinely have peace?  As we look around the world we live and turn on our televisions we hear of various conditions that may lead us to believe that.  Destructions, wars, tragedies, economic stresses and other happenings around us cause us to be perplexed and troubled.

These are external circumstances.  However, if we internalize them we can become traumatized and forfeit our peace.  They can also be personalized to affect us internally and mentally.

Destruction - internalizing can destroy our physical bodies
Wars - turmoil and battling of the mind
Tragedies - our thinking wrong thought patterns
Economic stresses - worrying over our personal finances
Other happenings - offences, jealousy and evil

Is your peace important to you?  I hope your answer is YES!  Let me show you HOW.

Hide yourself in the blanket of prayer. 

Obedience to God

Worship the Lord

When we hide ourselves in prayer we are covered and can go to sleep in peace and safety.  Psalm 4:8
Obedience to God qualifies us as His.  He promises to bless His people with peace.  Psalm 29:11
Worship brings perfect peace to our minds and spirit and keeps our trust in Him.                        Isaiah 26:3

As you can see we may not be responsible for world peace, but we are surely responsible for our peace.  Therefore, we will hide ourselves in the blanket of prayer by praying and communicating with our heavenly Father.  We will walk in obedience to His word and live up to the principles for Godly living.  We will worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness for He inhabits the praises of His people.  In doing these we will have great peace.  Internal peace that the world conditions and our circumstances cannot touch. 

Jesus says,
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
These things I have spoken unto you, that in me you might have peace. In the world you shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.  John 16:33

So today Lord, I decree and declare upon your people - Great peace have they which love thy law and nothing shall offend them.                                                                                                                     Go forth with the peace of God - God bless you!

Please let me know how this has impacted your life and your peace.  Share this peace with everyone!
