I Would Like That Peace!

Peaceful Setting. Quiet accept for the water lapping up on the sand. Slight rustle in the trees as the leaves sway with the breeze.

This is the ideal spot to sit and concentrate on words that can bring me peace. With the world in such a hurry, all of us need a particular place we can go and separate ourselves from the noise the world makes. If we can't be at this beautiful, restful spot, then we will have to picture this scene in our minds as we sit in our living room. Breathing in and out, slowly. Exhaling the cares of the world and breathing in the peace that is ours through God's words.

When I see this scene I am assured that God truly blesses each of us, everyday. Unfortunately, sometimes we don't realize it, because we are so hurried we don't see the blessings.

God's word says, "Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it. Psalm 34:14(KJV)

Many times we feel like we can't take the time to sit and be still and spend it conversing with God. But it is important that we do this so that we can be filled with His peace.
You will note in the verse, He tells us to seek peace...He even says pursue it.
He tells us this because it is important to our well being both physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually.
...listen to the water as it comes ashore and hear His calling you to peace.

Looking For Solutions To Help Our Families and Communities

     Smith Wigglesworth was a preacher and teacher. I read an interesting fact on him. He did not learn to read until after he married his wife Polly. She taught him to read the Bible. He often stated, “It was the only book he ever read”. He did not permit newspapers in his home, preferring the Bible to be their only reading material.      I dare say that is a rarity today. When I read this, I wondered how many homes today have Bibles. If they have one, how many families read the book collectively as a family and as an individual? Obviously, I don’t have the statistics on that.      However, that got me to thinking, what if! What if families began reading the bible together? What changes would come about in their homes, their lives, and their work? Of course, the changes would spill over in how we see and interact with our neighbors and treat people in our communities. Looking around at the things happening in all our communities such as ––the violence, hatred, rage, anger––

Your Strength Comes From Him

"And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me." 2Corinthians 12:9 There are times we feel overwhelmed in our day to day lives. We notice our strength is low both physically, mentally, and spiritually. During these times, we have two choices. We can sit down and feel sorry for ourselves or we can grab our Bibles and start reading God's words. Psalm 73:26 says, "My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever." Nehemiah 8:10 says, "Do not grieve, for the joy of the Lord is your strength." You can find numerous scriptures on God giving us strength in our lives. By reading His word and reminding ourselves that we can do all things through Him that strengthens us, it will build us up and we won't continue feeling bad because His strength is sufficient. Ble

Were You In The Locked Room?

  Jesus said, "Peace be unto you." Imagine you were with the disciples in the Upper Room; the doors are locked. Everyone is afraid of the Jewish leaders coming after them. Not only were they fearful, for their lives, but they lost their rock, Jesus. The man they leaned on, and depended on. He was with them for over 3 years, teaching them. Their friend. They could always count on Him. They ate with Him, played, slept, and prayed with Him. Now He was gone. Their whole world had been turned upside down. They didn't know what to do. They were in the upper room, the last place they had been with Jesus. What is it like for you sitting there with the disciples? Then suddenly, a man appeared in the room. They aren't sure who He is and they are wondering how he got in the locked room. The man says, "Peace be unto you." When he said this, he held out His hands and shewed them His side. It was Jesus. Can you imagine how thrilled the disciples were to see Him. Their jo
