Scripture of The Day 3/1/2022
“Finally, brothers and sisters, rejoice! Strive for full restoration, encourage one another, be of one mind, live in peace. And the God of love and peace will be with you.” 2 Corinthians 13:11
One of my husband’s favorite scriptures is Philippians 4:9…Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me-put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.
In this crazy world we live in so many people have no peace in their lives. So many are on medication for anxiety. There is no condemnation if you are on medication, I’m just saying that God’s Word says that we can have a peace that passes all understanding. Did you know that peace is one of the fruit of the Spirit? We, as Christians need to get to the point where we can let the peace of Christ rule in our hearts, since as members of one body we are called to peace…. ( Colossians 3:15)
This is how we let the peace of God rule our hearts, we Read God’s Word and we Do the Word. We apply the Word to every fear, every unrest, and everything that brings anxiety to our lives. The Word of God is full of answers, promises, and encouragement for every situation. When you apply the Word to the things that are steeling your peace and that sweet peace comes, then you share that with others and what joy it is to see other people get set free! Peace brings the joy of the Lord!
In Philippians4:4 the Word says to rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say rejoice! When we are under pressure one way to receive His peace is to rejoice. I encourage you to share that sweet peace with others. The world really needs it.
