That in Me you may have Peace

YOU WILL KEEP HIM IN PERFECT PEACE, WHOSE MIND IS STAYED ON YOU, BECAUSE HE TRUSTS IN YOU. ISAIAH 26:3 *NKJV
Now true peace in our lives can be hard to find at times, but through our faith in Jesus Christ we can know peace even in turmoil. This is because HE HIMSELF IS OUR PEACE. EPHESIANS 2:14
Now our Savior Jesus Christ said, “THESE THINGS I HAVE SPOKEN TO YOU, THAT IN ME YOU MAY HAVE PEACE. IN THE WORLD YOU WILL HAVE TRIBULATION; BUT BE OF GOOD CHEER, I HAVE OVERCOME THE WORLD.” JOHN 16:33
Therefore when you find that peace has left you, and you feel troubled; return your thoughts to our Heavenly Father and trust in Him with all your heart. Always remembering that HAVING BEEN JUSTIFIED BY FAITH, WE HAVE PEACE WITH GOD THROUGH OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST. ROMANS 5:1
So, always LET THE PEACE OF GOD RULE IN YOUR HEARTS, TO WHICH ALSO YOU WERE CALLED IN ONE BODY; AND BE THANKFUL. COLOSSIANS 3:15
Have a wonderful day and may THE GRACE OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST BE WITH YOU ALL, now and always! Amen. REVELATION 22:21

I HAVE HIDDEN YOUR WORD IN MY HEART, SO THAT I MIGHT NOT SIN AGAINST YOU. PSA 119:11
As children of the most high God, we should always be careful of what we pay attention to. What you listen and pay attention to is what is stored in you heart. The word of God bring life as IT IS WRITTEN, “MAN SHALL NOT LIVE BY BREAD ALONE, BUT BY EVERY WORD THAT PROCEEDS OUT OF THE MOUTH OF GOD. MAT 4:4 So KEEP YOUR HEART WITH ALL DILIGENCE; FOR OUT OF IT ARE THE ISSUES OF LIFE ( PRO 4:23 ) AND HAS RAISED US UP TOGETHER AND MADE US SIT TOGETHER IN THE HEAVENLIES IN CHRIST JESUS ( EPH 2:6 )
Let His word dwells in you. THIS BOOK OF THE LAW SHALL NOT DEPART OUT OF YOUR MOUTH, BUT YOU SHALL MEDITATE ON IT BY DAY AND BY NIGHT, SO THAT YOU MAY BE CAREFUL TO DO ACCORDING TO ALL THAT IS WRITTEN IN IT. FOR THEN YOU SHALL MAKE YOUR WAY PROSPEROUS, AND THEN YOU SHALL ACT WISELY. When His word lives in you, you will always be conscious of His commandments. Remember He said DO NOT BE UNEQUALLY YOKED TOGETHER WITH UNBELIEVERS; FOR WHAT FELLOWSHIP DOES RIGHTEOUSNESS HAVE WITH LAWLESSNESS? AND WHAT PARTNERSHIP DOES LIGHT HAVE WITH DARKNESS? 2CO 6:14
The word of God connect us to the feature. As we walk in the word, it gets us to where God wants us to be. YOUR WORD IS A LAMP TO MY FEET, AND A LIGHT TO MY PATH. PSA 119:105
My prayer is that, Whatever is contrary to the word of God will not execute in you life in Jesus name. And ye shall say to the enemies, TAKE COUNSEL TOGETHER AND IT SHALL COME TO NAUGHT; SPEAK THE WORD, AND IT SHALL NOT STAND: FOR GOD IS WITH US. ISA 8:10 . Whatever God has promise will come to pass in your life in Jesus name, because His word concerning you is settled in heaven. FOREVER, O JEHOVAH, YOUR WORD IS SETTLED IN THE HEAVENS PSA 119:89 So, it’s better to keep your treasures in heaven and always fill yourself with the word of God.
Enter the Sanctuary
11171 days
Have you ever grumbled or complained about the apparent success of the ungodly? Have you felt jealous of the wealth, the power and the prestige they display? Have you wondered how it can be that some people have gained their wealth in a corrupt manner and selfishly hoard it while so many people are living in poverty and desperate need?
You are not the only one who has contemplated these questions. A man named Asaph pondered these matters in Psalm 73. “I envied the arrogant when I saw the prosperity of the wicked. They have no struggles; their bodies are healthy and strong. They are free from the burdens common to man; they are not plagued by human ills… This is what the wicked are like – always carefree, they increase in wealth” (Ps. 73:3, 4-5, 12). Asaph even questioned the benefits of maintaining his integrity and he lamented, “When I tried to understand all this, it was oppressive to me” (Ps. 73:16).
But then, instead of wallowing and complaining, Asaph did the right thing! “I entered the sanctuary of God; then I understood their final destiny” (Ps. 73:17).
It is only in the presence of God that we find peace of mind and gain divine understanding.
If you find yourself questioning things as Asaph did, it is probably a sign that you need to take more time out of your day to pray, meditate on God’s Word and listen to His voice. Then you can rest assured that the prosperity of the wicked will come to an end and you will say unto the Lord as Asaph did, “Yet I am always with you; you hold me by my right hand. You guide me with your counsel, and afterward you will take me into glory. Whom have I in heaven but you? And earth has nothing I desire besides you. My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever. Those who are far from you will perish; you destroy all who are unfaithful to you. But as for me, it is good to be near God. I have made the Sovereign Lord my refuge; I will tell of all your deeds” (Ps. 73:23-28).
Take time daily to “enter the sanctuary of God”!
A time to laugh!

As our Heavenly Father said there will be; “A TIME TO WEEP AND A TIME TO LAUGH; A TIME TO MOURN AND A TIME TO DANCE.” ECCLESIASTES 3:4 *NKJV
Well, your are in luck, because now is a time to laugh! So if you are feeling low right now remember that IF I SAY, I WILL FORGET MY COMPLAINT, I WILL PUT OFF MY SAD FACE AND WEAR A SMILE. For after you read this you can say THEN MY MOUTH WAS FILLED WITH LAUGHTER, AND MY TONGUE WITH SINGING. JOB 9:27 & PSALM 126:2
Read this and grab from it. God bless you!
Pecans in the Cemetery
On the outskirts of a small town, there was a big, old pecan tree
just inside the cemetery fence. One day, two boys filled up a
bucketful of nuts and sat down by the tree, out of sight, and began
dividing the nuts. “One for you, one for me. One for you, one for
me,” said one boy. Several dropped and rolled down toward the
fence.
Another boy came riding along the road on his bicycle. As he
passed, he thought he heard voices from inside the cemetery. He
slowed down to investigate. Sure enough, he heard, “One for you,
one for me. One for you, one for me.” He just knew what it was,
so he jumped back on his bike and rode off.
Now just around the bend he met an old man with a cane,
hobbling along. “Come here quick,” said the boy, “you won’t believe
what I heard! Satan and the Lord are down at the cemetery dividing
up the souls.”
The man said, “Beat it kid, can’t you see it’s hard for me to
walk.” When the boy insisted though, the man hobbled to the
cemetery. Standing by the fence they heard, “One for you, one for
me. One for you, one for me…” The old man whispered, “Boy,
you’ve been tellin’ the truth. Let’s see if we can see the Lord.”
Shaking with fear, they peered through the fence yet were still
unable to see anything.
The old man and the boy gripped the wrought iron bars of the
fence tighter and tighter as they tried to get a glimpse of the
Lord.
At last they heard, “One for you, one for me. That’s all. Now let’s
go get those nuts by the fence and we’ll be done.”
They say the old man made it back to town a full 5 minutes
ahead of the boy on the bike!

Worry may actually shorten our life. DO NOT WORRY!

DO NOT WORRY ABOUT TOMORROW, FOR TOMORROW WILL WORRY ABOUT ITSELF. EACH DAY HAS ENOUGH TROUBLE OF ITS OWN. MATTHEW 6:34 *NIV
Now I ask you, WHO OF YOU BY WORRYING CAN ADD A SINGLE HOUR TO HIS LIFE? MATTHEW 6:27 In fact, some studies even show that worry may actually shorten our life!
Therefore instead of worrying CAST ALL YOUR ANXIETY ON HIM BECAUSE HE CARES FOR YOU. 1 PETER 5:7 For then, WHEN YOU LIE DOWN, YOU WILL NOT BE AFRAID; WHEN YOU LIE DOWN YOUR SLEEP WILL BE SWEET. PROVERBS 3:24
After all what is worry anyway, but the opposite of faith! So, have faith and always turn your worries over to God! Then you will be able to say with confidence…..
“Why Worry About Tomorrow?”
Why worry about tomorrow
And the rising of the sun,
Of anguish over past mistakes
That cannot be undone?
Why waste life’s precious moments
On things that bruise the heart
When today is ours to fashion
Into a work of art?
Today comes but once, my friend,
It never can return–
So use it wisely while you can,
There’s a lesson you may learn.
Let history record the past
And tomorrow come what may.
Be content to do your best
With what you have today!
