Peace!

Where does your peace come from?

 14 "Seek peace and pursue it" (Psalm 34: 14) (NIV).

 We all want peace. Peace in ourselves, with family, with friends, within our job, within our most difficult situations. 

 Having peace could be as easy as wearing a fragrance which claims to give you peace that allows you to have peace of mind. Unfortunately, it's not that easy.

 True peace only comes from God!

 27 "Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give you to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid".  (John 14: 27) (NIV).

The peace that God gives us is a peace that keeps us calm, controls us; our hearts and feelings when everything is not stable or steady.

These are just three things that may keep us from having peace:

  • Unexplainable problems- Most things that we expect to be a good turn out aren't and this makes it easy for us to lose our peace. We may not know the reason for this and this can make us stressed, anxious and nervous. 
  • Unchangeable people- People whom you want to change don't and this isn't your fault. We lose our peace when we take it upon ourselves to try to change that person. Most people change within time, some may never change.
  • Uncontrollable circumstances-  Life is beyond our control sometimes. For example, that job that we have desperately been pursuing but did not get. Things like this, big or small, make us lose peace of mind.

Peace of mind has been promised by God. The Hebrews name of God is 'Shalom' and it means peace. 'Jehovah Shalom' means 'I am the God of peace'.


Prayer:
Dear Lord, fill my heart. Fill me with peace of mind. Lord teach me so that I may live peaceable with everyone. God, teach me to trust in you so, I would not be lost, drifting like a ship without a sail. Lord, I pray for peace in the midst of stormy days, but knowing that you are near and you hear my cries reassures that you are with me. Glory be to you, God. Thank you, Lord. In Jesus' name. Amen!

Bad Company Corrupts Good Character!

Yes, there is a need to avoid Bad Company. 1 Corinthians 15: 33 says this " Do not be misled:  “Bad company corrupts good character.” (NIV). Do your friends corrupt your morals? Do you allow your friends to corrupt your morals?  It is important to choose wisely who you allow to influence you. We are humans and are easily corrupted by the company we keep. We need to prevent others bad influences from causing us to become a bad influence on ourselves and others.  Friends can either help us or harm us. Only You can choose the company you keep! God made the statement in His Word, the Bible, which proclaims " Do not be misled:  “Bad company corrupts good character.”  (NIV). This statement reminds us that we are a building board for Jesus and we must not Waiver and stumble off the path that God has set for us. Bad company can have a great influence on our walk with God. It can trick us into thinking that we can keep the wrong type of company and continue o...
