Good Morning Everyone,
First Peter 3:
10-11: vs.10: For he that will love life, and see good days, let him
refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile: 11:
Let him eschew evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and ensue
it.
Today, at your work-stations: Do
not allow yourselves to be agitated and disturbed; and do not permit
yourself to be fearful; intimidated and
unsettled. Exercise Jesus' Precious
Gift with the people He loves...Selah.
We must decide to be Peaceful on Purpose... We can refuse to let negative emotions rule us and not allow other people
to make us unhappy and steal our peace. When we start to get upset about
something, we must make up our minds to stop it immediately. This is a
good place to practice the fruit of self-control. When things start getting out
of hand, self-control helps bring it back in line. We must learn to
maintain peace with God by believing and trusting
Him. We must maintain peace with ourselves by
refusing to live in guilt and condemnation, and recognize that God is Greater
than all of our sins.
We must maintain peace with our
fellow man by not allowing strife to be a part
of our relationship with other people. Joy and Peace are found in
believing (Rom.15:13). When we believe God's Word and seek to develop
the fruit of the Spirit in our lives, we'll find that Peace is often
accompained by Joy. Just as Jesus offers Peace
that passes all understanding to Believers, He offers us
Joy unspeakable - Joy that the world cannot understand. Joy is like a deep well on the inside of us, and it is not
dependent on circumstances. When Jesus is our Joy we have Joy no matter
what is going on around us. Neh. 8:10 says...the joy of the Lord is your
strength and stronghold. A stronghold is a place of protection from your
enemies, and Jesus' Joy protects you from the enemy.... Amen?
Amen. God Bless.
Holy One, how we praise You and
thank You for Your Word, knowing that You watch over Your Word to perform it and
no Word of Yours returns void, but accomplishes that which You please and it
prospers in the thing for which You sent it...
Father, we confess that
those who receive instruction in Your Word, share in all good things You
provides for us. We confess that Your people will not lose heart, faint, nor
grow weary in doing right, because in due time, in their appointed
season, they shall reap if they do not loose their courage.
Lord,
we confess that Your people are a blessing, especially to those of the household
of faith - those who belong to Your family.. We declare today that they sow
generously and they will reap generously Abundant Favor, Mercy and Grace.
Thank You Father, Your people are enriched in all things and in every way as
they go forth this day in Peace and Great Joy in Jesus Name. Amen. Amen...
"Sustained By His Word-Secured Through Faith"
