Peace

Lie down in green pastures of Peace. Learn to unwind whenever possible, resting in the Presence of your Shepherd. This electronic age keeps My children “wired” much of the time, too tense to find Me in the midst of their moments. I built into your very being the need for rest. How twisted the world has become when people feel guilty about meeting this basic need! How much time and energy they waste by being always on the go, rather than taking time to seek My direction for their lives.

I have called you to walk with Me down paths of Peace. I want you to blaze a trail for others who desire to live in My peaceful Presence. I have chosen you less for your strengths than for your weaknesses, which amplify your need for Me. Depend on Me more and more, and I will shower Peace on all your paths.

The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not be in want. He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he restores my soul. He guides me in paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.- PSALM 23:1–3

By the seventh day God had finished the work he had been doing; so on the seventh day he rested from all his work. And God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it he rested from all the work of creating that he had done.- GENESIS 2:2–3

“To shine on those living in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the path of peace.”- LUKE 1:79

When we come to worship God, He should be enough. We become so wrapped up in technology and being social that we forget what is important. We need to find time to take away fro our busy world and spend with God. He wants to be our addiction, instead of our iPhone, Droids and Blackberries. It is hard to shift from our daily lives to a focused moment on God but it is needed!

I often find myself watching TV, texting, etc when I am trying to study Gods word. That is the devil trying to take our individual time away from the Lord. We cannot let that happen!

Today set time aside to rest at peace with God. You will feel a calm serenity and it will change your outlook on what lies ahead. God wants to grant is His peace, so let Him!
