Today God says:
"I am your peace".
He promises me:
"The Lord will bless His people with peace". (Ps.29:11)
My response to the word:
In Christ, I have found a peace that surpasses all understanding. It is a peace that the world cannot give, and neither can the world take it away from me. I remember that Jesus said, "Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid".
My prayer:
Lord, thank you for blessing me with your peace through your Word and your Spirit. I believe you have given me your peace. I will walk in your peace throughout this day.
Today's scriptures:
"With perfect peace you will protect those whose minds cannot be changed, because they trust you". (Isa. 26:3 GW) "Then God's peace, which goes beyond anything we can imagine, will guard your thoughts and emotions through Christ Jesus". (Phil. 4:7 GW) "Let Christ's peace control you. God has called you into this peace by bringing you into one body. Be thankful". (Col. 3:15 GW)
Quote for today:
The better you become acquainted with God, the less tensions you feel and the more peace you possess. (Charles Allen)
On this day:
"Scriptures are taken from the King James Bible or those marked (GW) are from the God's Word Translation, used with permission".
