Be at peace

Just thinking today about peace and what it means to have peace.  The Word talks about a peace that passes all understanding.......alot of times we don't understand why certain things happen to us at unexpected times, come to think of it, who's expecting bad things anyways??  At times certain events in our lives happen without warning like storms, disastrous storms, death, illnesses, loss of a job, divorce, betrayal, etc.  But God gives us a peace to deal with these types of things according to 2 Thessalonians 3:16, that He will give us peace at all times(under all circumstances and conditions, whatever comes).   Sometimes our soul becomes bombarded with so many things and remember that your soul is your mind, will and emotions, where you process your thoughts, make decisions, where your emotions can get crazy!  God wants us all to be at peace and  for our soul to be at peace.  Our minds on any given day can be going in 10 different directions, racing, not knowing what to do or how to do.  God offers a peace that the world can't give you.  You can't find peace in a pill, a bottle or a club.  You can't find peace by running away, secluding yourself or going to some kind of counselor who is gonna take all your money, just to listen to your problems.  I'm telling you today that there is a Peace Speaker and His name is Jesus.  He can calm your troubled storm, He can lighten your load, He can carry your burdens, He can take you out of the pit and put you in the palace so that your feet can be placed on solid ground!   There is no other name by which you can be saved but by the name of Jesus Christ.  What you need is a Word.  Get into the Word and meditate on what you've read.  You don't have to rush through the Bible in a year.  God is not impressed by how fast we can read the Bible through in a year....c'mon somebody!!   God said, hide His words in your heart and meditate on them day and night.   Don't let your mind rule you, rule it, rule your thoughts, take dominion over the thoughts that are tormenting you.  It's a crazy world out there and there are lots of distractions and lots of things to keep us busy.  Let's not get so busy that we miss out on all God has for us.  We need Him much more than we can imagine.   So get peace, keep peace and keep your mind stayed on Him.  Love, blessings and peace out...
