October 21 Devotion - The Foundation of Peace

Therefore, beloved, looking forward to these things, be diligent to be found by Him in peace, without spot and blameless.

لذلك ايها الاحباء اذ انتم منتظرون هذه اجتهدوا لتوجدوا عنده بلا دنس ولا عيب في سلام.

2 Peter 3:14

Did you ever find yourself not at peace with God?

Although many may frown at this question, I admit there are times when I am not at peace with God. There are some questions to which I do not know the answers to at the present time and is keeping me from being at peace with God. He may or may not reveal His answers to me, and even if He does, I may not understand because

"My thoughts are nothing like your thoughts," says the LORD. "And my ways are far beyond anything you could imagine”.

لأَنَّ أَفْكَارِي لَيْسَتْ مُمَاثِلَةً لأَفْكَارِكُمْ، وَلا طُرُقَكُمْ مِثْلُ طُرُقِي، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ

Isaiah 55:8

Lasting peace cannot be attained through our own efforts, but rather through Christ in us. The peace that comes from Him is eternal. Our bond with Him is the foundation upon which real peace is built.

In order to experience the peace of God we need first to be at peace with God.

I invite you to repeat the following prayer for yourself:

Abba Father, thank You for Your abundant blessings and love. Lord, I want to experience Your true peace. I ask You God to expose anything that may be preventing me from being at peace with You and heal it so that I can receive the true and everlasting peace that only You can give. Thank You Lord that through the atoning blood of Jesus I can become without spot and blameless in Your eyes. Father I rejoice in Your faithfulness. I pray in Jesus’ mighty name, to Him be the glory both now and forever. Amen.

Jesus loves you,

In Him,
