SHALOM

Romans 3:17 "And the way of peace have they not known"

When you read the epistles of Paul the Apostle, you'll notice that he frequently refers to God as the God of Peace. He often begins or ends his letters by saying, "Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ."

So, in Romans, he was essentially conveying a simpler message: They were unfamiliar with God and His ways. But, my dear friend, you know, and the very spirit of God dwells within you. So, why do you find yourself in distress? Remember the story of Jesus and His disciples in the boat. While a storm raged, Jesus was at peace, sound asleep, while the disciples grew anxious., Mark 4:38-39 "And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awake him, and say unto him, Master, carest thou not that we perish?
And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm"
Peace is a profound concept within God's kingdom.  
John 14:27"Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid."
The peace found in the world is distinct from the peace that comes from God; it is temporary and contingent on external factors. Recently, I've noticed that many persons are experiencing distress due to various circumstances, such as the loss of loved ones, financial difficulties, and personal setbacks. For some, it's the anxiety of what the future holds and the uncertainty that troubles them. 

Peace is not present even in the "perfection" or stability of our lives; rather, it is in Jesus. He gives a peace that makes no sense.
Philippians 4:7"And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus."

To have the peace of God, you have to have peace with God, Romans 5:1 "Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ" All you need to do is welcome Him and allow Him to be the Lord of your life, and He enters with gifts, with peace being one of those precious gifts.
Also as believers, we do not walk by sight but by faith, and your hope is built on Jesus's blood and righteousness!
The peace of God is unparalleled and incomparable, existing in a class of its own. It is a perfect and enigmatic peace that transcends understanding. Even though it surpasses our comprehension, we can recognize its presence, and we can sense when it is absent.
We experience it amid unspeakable pain and yet somehow, we have this calmness over us. We experience it when we’re in financial struggles and are unsure of how to pay the next bill, yet we’re amazed we can rest in God’s provision. It also signifies the ability to soothe every tempest, to speak to each anxiety, hurt, and pain, and command your heart to "peace, be still."
We know God keeps His word.
This is the peace of God. 
I love you,
Rom 15:13"May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit" Amen

BUT...

But...  ‭‭Ecclesiastes 10:1 NLT‬ "As dead flies cause even a bottle of perfume to stink, so a little foolishness spoils great wisdom and honor." Some time ago, I watched a video about what happens when flies land on your food. It left me feeling irritated, and I couldn't bring myself to watch until the end. As little as a fly is and as insignificant as it may seem, it can cause an expensive and exquisite bottle of perfume to stink thus rendering it useless. Similarly the presence of a but. In today's episode the but is CHARACTER. You see many people are good-looking, intelligent, gifted, talented, the list goes on "but" bankrupt of character.  These qualities and abilities are amazing however many people have had all of these and still failed, why? Bankruptcy of character! In the words of Pastor Prince" The hallmark of greatness is humility and simplicity"   Let's learn from the lives of these people, In the book of Esther, the Bib...

/WÁ/ Come

"And he said, Come... "  Welcome to the last month of year '23.  Long story, here's a background. After healing the sick and feeding 5000 men besides women and children with 5 loaves of bread and 2 fishes, Jesus then sent His disciples away to go before him and also the multitude. He then goes up into the mountainside to pray alone, till night. Remember that He sent them away earlier so the ship was a considerable distance from the land.  Shortly before dawn, he goes to them casually strolling on water, before he came along, their ship was already experiencing some turbulence being tossed with waves ."When the disciples saw him walking on the lake, they were terrified. “It’s a ghost,” they said, and cried out in fear."  I'm sure they were confident it was the ghost that was causing them all that trouble, Jesus reassures them it is indeed Him. Peter then goes on to say, Matt 14:28"...Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water...

Aprovecha

Glory to God!  A penny for your responses on how your year has been?  I  have been unlearning and re-learning a lot.  I know this year a lot escalated however, please try not to complain about the state of things, why? Because it won't change anything and the more you speak of it the more your subconscious registers it as your reality.  Remember that you're not ordinary, If ordinary people can walk through life every day with little or no challenges, why should you experience difficulty?  You are a mirroring image of God. 1 Pet‬ ‭2:9‬ ‭AMP‬‬ "[ But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a consecrated nation, a [special] people for God’s possession, so that you may proclaim the excellencies [the wonderful deeds and virtues and perfections] of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light." You have a lot of potential within you; one step, then the next. You've got this You've tried everything, try Jesus. Return to the Word of Go...
