Peace God's Way

Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.

~John 14: 27

I will never cease to be amazed at the poignancy of God's actions. This verse and the accompanying message by Mr. Chambers matches up incredibly with the topic of conversation last night as my wife and I fell into sleep. I'm sure there are statistical probabilities on this occurrence in my life, but for me it is yet another way to identify the presence of a faithful God caring about my life.

Mr. Chambers states: "As long as we try to serve two masters, ourselves and God, there will be difficulties combined with doubt and confusion." The peace we receive from checking everything off our list for the day is nice, but not to be confused with the peace of existence that comes from the Lord.

I may control my list.
I will never control my life.

Lord that we may execute on the simple things: Wake. Die to myself. Live excellence for you. Be thankful. Worship. Share.
