DO YOU HAVE "PERFECT PEACE" IN YOUR LIFE?

You will keep him in perfect peace Whose mind is stayed on you, Because he trust in you.  Trust in Lord forever, for in YAH, the Lord, is everlasting strength.       Isaiah 26:3,4.   NKJV     (Emphasis Added)

                                                                       

According to GotQuestions.com, "Peace is something everyone wants, yet few seem to find.  What is peace?  It can be defined as "tranquility, harmony, or security."  Depending on the situation, it could mean "prosperity" or "well-being".  This is not the kind of peace of which I speak.  This fragile, unstable peace fluctuates and is dependent upon external situations, circumstances, and sometimes other people.

I heard a teenager on television trying to encourage his mother who was really stressed about something and had allowed only worse case scenerios to dominate her thoughts.  Those thoughts had begun run through her mind like a hampster running on his wheel.  He simply said to her that "worry is a misuse of imagination."  One of my uncles used to say that "imagination is the strongest nation in the world".  

However, if you choose to dwell on the Lord and His Word,  allowing the Holy Spirit  be "the eye (calm & peace) of the storm" in your life when everything and everybody else around you seem to be going haywire, imagination is put on its place. This peace in internal.  What a testimony to the world when we allow the fruit of peace to manifest. 

If you've never experienced this special "brand" of Peace that only  Jehovah Shalom can give, you are missing out.  Even when circumstances & everything all around you cause you to feel like Hurricane (Fill in the blank) is advancing onto the shores of your life, the Lord can give you His peace that will boggle the minds of those around you.

I do not speak of something that I read in a book, heard someone else say, nor is this an untested hypothesis.  Peace is a fruit of the Spirit and is not compromised or threatened by circumstances.  I speak from tried and true personal experience.  Perhaps if we focus more on the bigness of our God instead of the bigness of our circumstance or storm, we will experience Him speaking, "PEACE BE STILL!" to the storms and challenges in our lives!

Elohim, The God of Creation

Image
  In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.                                                                                                   Genesis 1:1 , NKJV God has many "names"or "titles"that reflect His character and benefits. Today, I am focusing on Elohim, the God of Creation.  I was blessed to celebrate another birthday a couple of days ago, and my gift was to travel to another state with loved ones where the eclipse could be seen in its totality.  I saw the one locally in 2017, but that partial one paled by comparison to this one.    Photo by Mohamed Nohassi on Unsplash To say that it was awesome is such an understatement.  Visitors traveled from as far west as California, and there were some who were French speaking from who knows where.  I am seldom at a loss for words, however, this was an exception.  Seeing God's creation on full display as it went though the various phases was awe inspiring and caused me to tear up.  The change i

PASSION WEEK/HOLY WEEK

Image
No one can take my life from me.  I sacrifice it voluntarily.  For I have the authority to lay it down when I want to and also to take it up again.  For this is what my Father has commanded.  John 10:17-18 (NLT)    This season is one of the most consequential & unforgettable periods of time in Christiandom.  A painful time which ends triumphantly! Passion Week or Holy Week began on Palm Sunday and continues to Resurrection Sunday/Easter.   Jesus, motivated by His love for us and desire to redeem us, suffered unbelievable torture and humiliation to pay our sin debt.   He who was without sin. * It is called Passion Week because Jesus was motivated by His passionate love for us and desire to provide a path back to a restored relationship with the Father through Him.  The Father loves me because I sacrifice my life so I may take it back again. (John 10:17) .  He accomplished it through His suffering, death, and resurrection.  Those of us who are followers of Christ should always fe
