Jesus said in John 14:27 Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you, not as the world gives…His peace is far greater and is beyond all understanding as it says in Phil.4:7 His peace guards our heart and mind when we let go of our anxieties and worry.
Colossians 3:15 says, Let the peace of God rule in your heart, to which you were called in one body and be thankful. Let us pursue the things that make for peace and things to edify one another. Romans.14:19 I will pursue the things that pertain to peace and build up each other accordingly.
May the God of hope fill us with joy and peace so I may abound in hope through the power of the Holy Spirit. Romans 15:13 I believe the God of hope fills us with joy and peace daily so we can abound in hope through the power of the Holy Spirit and instill hope to others. There are many people all around us who live in fear and worry about tomorrow. My desire is to be like Jesus and allow His hope, peace and joy to touch others even to the hopeless and helpless. His joy, hope and peace is not meant to be kept hidden deep within our souls, but it is given to share with others.
In Romans 14:17 says the kingdom of God is not meat or drink but is righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. We have the kingdom of God living within us and as we acknowledge the Holy Spirit, He works in us righteousness, peace and joy. We can’t do it on our own He is our helper and our teacher and so much more.
What are some things that generate God’s PEACE… Don’t live to please yourself but work towards pleasing others. ~Be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to anger. James1:19
It’s important to…Be a good Listener and speak less and keep anger under control
Also…~A heart of compassion, ~Acts of kindness towards others, ~Bear one another’s burdens, come along side of them and encourage, ~Be sensitive to other’s feelings, ~Be courteous, ~ Be gracious and lend a helping hand, ~speak words of gentleness and goodness to build up the listener, ~when you receive an evil word from someone replace it with good. Rom.12:12…~replace judgmental or critical thoughts with respectful ones
These are just some of the things I’ve written and there are more but in conclusion to this devotion…I love this new treasure I discovered in God’s word today…
“Scriptures were written so we may learn how we ought to act and through the patience and comfort of the scriptures we gain hope.”
And May the God of patience and comfort cause us to be the same towards one another according to Christ Jesus, so we glorify the God & Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. Romans 15:4,5. (Personalized). How beautiful is that? It is important to read the word, so we gain hope and learn how to be patient and it enables us to comfort others. I thank the Holy Spirit for what He has taught me today and I share it with you, and may it bless your heart as it has mine.
My PRAYER, Lord Jesus, You are the great Peacemaker. May I follow in Your footsteps and allow Your peace, joy and love within my heart flow unto others. My desire is to please & glorify You and my heavenly Father. Thank You for what You taught me today. In Your precious name, Amen.
