October 19 Devotion - EXPERIENCING PEACE

 

Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

سَلاماً أَتْرُكُ لَكُمْ. سَلاَمِي أُعْطِيكُمْ. لَيْسَ كَمَا يُعْطِي الْعَالَمُ أُعْطِيكُمْ أَنَا. فَلاَ تَضْطَرِبْ قُلُوبُكُمْ، وَلاَ تَرْتَعِبْ.

John 14:27

 

When God sent His only begotten Son, Jesus, to die for our sins, the door of peace and forgiveness was opened once and for all to those who believe.

To obtain God’s peace, we must make three key decisions:

1. Accept and declare Jesus Christ as our personal Lord and Saviour,
2. Believe that the peace God offers is ours for the asking, and
3. Live in obedience to God’s will.

 

Remember—it is impossible to live with peace in our hearts and rebellion in our actions. It is God’s will for us to be tranquil in our hearts and serene in our spirit, despite the chaos surrounding us.

 

May today there be peace within.

May you trust God that you are exactly where you are meant to be.

May you remember the infinite possibilities that are born of faith.  

May  you use those gifts that you have received, and pass on the  love that has been given to you.

May you be content knowing you  are a child of God. Let this presence settle into your  bones, and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love.

It is there for each and every one of us who have accepted and declared Jesus Christ as our lord and saviour.

 

 I invite you to repeat the following prayer for yourself:

Abba Father, thank You for Jesus, His death and resurrection. Teach me Jesus to rejoice in Your peace and to keep my mind, eyes and thoughts on You. Bless me Lord with the ability to rejoice in You always. I believe that you have already blessed me with Your peace; today I claim it as mine. I know Lord that when I am seeking Your will my heart will not be troubled or afraid because of Your peace within me. May the God of hope fill me with all joy and peace in believing through the experience of my faith that by the power of The Holy Spirit I will abound in hope and overflow with confidence in God's promises. Romans 15:13 In Jesus’ mighty name I pray. Amen.

 Jesus loves you,

 In Him,
