Peace


What comes to mind when you reflect on peace? Is peace sitting on a tall mountain overlooking the city?  Is it perhaps sitting on a beach watching the waves wade on and off shore  while the wind blows through your hair? Is it being curled up on the couch reading a novel on a rainy day? Doesn't those things sound relaxing?

That's because this is exactly what peace is--relaxing.  You are away from the kids, the job, and your family to relax. No one near to disturb your alone time.  However, what I just described to you is not peace.  This is nothing more than a distraction. You temporarily remove yourself from your problems.  When your alone time is over, your life restarts again. You chase the wind of life hoping for another distraction.  When I speak of peace, I'm talking about peace that transcends all understanding (Philippians 4:7). A peace that makes no sense. A heavenly peace. I'm talking about never having to cry again. Never having to feel pain again. Never lose anyone to death again. Never having an enemy. Never having to work. Because God shall wipe away all tears from your eyes and there shall be no more death, sorrow, or pain (Revelations 21:4). That is true peace.  Have you had one of those days? Me neither, but I'm sure looking forward to it on that glorious Day! How about you? Now sit quietly and try to image what that feels and looks like.

Understanding It Better By and By

    Funny how life has a way of showing you what you’re made of.  When adversity hits, what you say you wouldn't do becomes easier to do.  When the rubber meets the road, yes! you do the unthinkable.  Let's say you have a house fire and on the second floor is your baby and mom. You can only save one, which would it be? I've heard many say they would grab the baby since mom has been around a long time. I couldn't say.  I'm not in that situation right now.  There's no way to know what to do until tragedy hits.  Some can handle atrocities, whereas; other have no clue how to maneuver suffering nor know why hardship occurs.  Stop trying to figure out why hardships happens--only the Father knows.  He won't  have you guessing long.      The underlining reason at the end of your trials gives away the mystery. Experiencing hardship isn't fun but you will come out with more insight than ever before....

Freedom

Freedom Fighter For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures; and that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the Scriptures” --1 Corinthians 15:3-4 (Meanwhile in Heaven) “Now let’s see what they will do.” “Does anyone know what just happened?”   “I don’t think so Father; look at them scurrying around like ants. They are oblivious to my death.”   “Give it time, Give it time.” “How much more time?”  “Look! There’s one praying. She talks to me all the time. Her heart is so tender and loving like us.”   “Listen.”

Get Ready

W hen the Children of God came to the Red Sea, no doubt their motivation levels were very low. They had Pharaoh and his army behind them, mountains on the sides of them and the Red Sea ahead of them.  There seemed to be no way out of this saga.  A movie where the villain has the good person cornered.  You wonder how they were going to get out of it. God's people waited 450 years to be released from Egypt and right at their blessing (crossing the Red Sea), the God's Children cries out to Moses, "Because there were no graves in Egypt, has thou taken us away to die in the wilderness? Wherefore has thou dealt thus with us, to carry us forth out of Egypt? Is not this the word that we did tell thee in Egypt, saying, Let us alone, that we may serve the Egyptians? For it had been better for us to serve the Egyptians, than we should die in the wilderness."  Moses answers the people by saying, "Fear ye not, stand still and see the salvation ...
