His Peace

FOCAL VERSE :
“Therefore, since we have we have been made right in God’s sight by faith, we have peace with God because of what Jesus Christ our Lord has done for us”Romans 5:1 NLT

DEEP REFLECTION:

Peace is knowing that the Lord of the universe is by your side and resting in that firm assurance.

In Christ, God has made permanent peace with us. Since He is the one who made it, it can never be lost.
It does not occur by just knowing this truth, but being able to live this truth out is also important. Peace is the ability to dwell in comfort; knowing that God is right next to your side no matter what. It is something that you cannot attain physically because the world is almost, always going to be a rocky place.

So when the verse from Galatians 5:22 says that the fruit of the spirit is peace; it is knowing that when we have the spirit in us and among us, we are able to abide in peace. We are able to rest in peace, believing that the Holy Spirit is with us and the peace of God is in us.

“You will go out in joy and be led forth in peace; the mountains and hills will burst out into song before you, and all the trees of the fields will clap their hands.” (Isaiah 55:12)

What a beautiful picture that this verse from Isaiah frames? As we go out in joy, we are led in peace. Holding onto joy; peace can guide us in our ways.

Think about the times you may be anxious, frustrated or living chaos. The world may seem to be spinning around at 100 miles per hour, but you just need a moment to sit and be still. The overwhelming peace that can comfort you during these times come from the Holy Spirit within us.
Peace is knowing that our God is in control. Shalom!

SOUL PRAYER:

Heavenly Father, You are the Creator of peace, and I can have access to Your peace-filled presence whenever I draw near to You. Please forgive me for not consistently placing my trust in You; even when I am faced with intense situations. Thank you for your promise to be with me until the end of of world. Thank You for being my peace in the midst of the storm. In Jesus name. Amen

INTENTIONAL EXERCISE :

Hey Beautiful Soul, God has made peace with us. We stand in His grace, and we rejoice in the sure hope that we will share in His glory. Our suffering brings growth, which leads to even more potent hope. Begin to renew your mind as His word has reached you today. You are blessed beyond measure.

Hey Beautiful Soul, we would love to hear from you.
