So many things vie for our attention. Demands come from career, from family, from current events and also from our own desires. Things happen so quickly it seems and we are caught up in another crisis and if not a crisis, just caught up in life. When live gets hectic like this we react to circumstances instead of planning a course of action.
There’s no peace in that! And if there’s no peace then we also know that we haven’t given the Lord permission to direct our steps. We need to be led by His Spirit so that we make wise and deliberate decisions; decisions that bring peace and joy.
I encourage you to stay focused today. Focused on God’s word and His promises.
“God, you give true peace to people who depend on you,
to those who trust in you.
4 So trust the Lord always, because in the Lord Yah you have a place of safety forever.” Isaiah 26:3-4 ERV
The Apostle Paul was giving final instruction to the christians in Rome and this was his instruction.
“I pray that God, who gives hope, will bless you with complete happiness and peace because of your faith. And may the power of the Holy Spirit fill you with hope.
14 My friends, I am sure that you are very good and that you have all the knowledge you need to teach each other.” Romans 15:13-14 ERV
Check your heart in every situation. Are you at peace or is there turmoil? If there’s peace, then proceed and trust the Lord’s leading. If not, then wait – pray and don’t be in rush!
Enjoy your day and let the peace of God which passes all understanding guard your heart!
