Strive To Live In Peace And Gratitude – Part 1
Strive To Live In Peace And Gratitude Part 1
Peace is described as tranquillity, stillness and freedom from contention. The Lord blesses His people with peace and He keeps those whose mind is rested on Him in perfect peace. We need to seek peace, pursue it and enjoy it, to the glory of God. A heart of peace gives life to the body.
Our Lord Jesus Christ says in John 14:27a, "Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give as the world gives." Jesus wants us to have peace in Him and not depend on the peace the world gives, as this does not last. When we strive to live in peace, we are over-comers through our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.
When you go through some unpleasant situation in life, cry out to the Lord and hand everything over to Him. The assurance that He has heard you brings peace. It is easier to sleep well when you accept with full assurance that God is in control of your life. If you are lying awake at night worrying about circumstances you can't change, ask God for the gift of His peace. Then sleep well, knowing that He can handle your problems better than you can.
If you commit your life to the Lord and accept His forgiveness, you can experience the great joy and peace that comes from a relationship with your Heavenly Father. Jesus Christ is the Prince of Peace and His ever-expanding and peaceful government will never end. He brings true justice and peace to all the nations of the world.
If you want true peace, seek God first, and then you will receive His peace. But if you choose to remain in sin and reject God's offer of forgiveness, peace will continue to elude you. I pray that this will not be your portion, in Jesus' exalted name. It seems that in large part, peace is up to us as Apostle Paul says in Romans 12:18, "If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone." God expects you to be a peacemaker and wants you to make the first move, whether you are the offender or the offended. You need to act quickly in order to reduce spiritual damage to you.
Let us strive to make peace our gift to the world we live in as we reflect the Prince of Peace. We know at times there will be strife but when conflict drops into our lives, let us endeavour to solve it peacefully. When we experience peace with God, we can share His peace with others and bring glory to His name. Allow the peace of God, which passes all understanding, surround you at all times. Receive His peace for every step you take and you will be free from anxiety. Rejoice in the Lord for guiding your future with His peace. AMEN
PRAYER OF SALVATION
If you have not already committed your life to Jesus and you would like to do so now, please pray this prayer:
"Lord Jesus, I am sorry for all the things I have done wrong. Thank you for dying for me on the cross, to set me free from my sins. I ask you to come into my life as my personal Lord and Saviour, and fill me with the Holy Spirit. Thank you Lord Jesus. Amen."
Congratulations, if you have prayed this prayer. Please look for a Bible-believing church, to fellowship with the brethren. Please do not hesitate to contact me, if I can be of any assistance to you. Remain blessed and enjoy the presence of the Lord.
