THE LORD OF PEACE

“NOW MAY THE LORD OF PEACE HIMSELF GIVE YOU HIS PEACE AT ALL TIMES IN EVERY SITUATION.” 2 THESSALONIANS 3:16

Confusion, doubt, worry, intimidation, jealousy, fear, sickness, disease and all other things that cause you and me agony and anxiety in our lives is just the opposite of what our Lord wants for us. The Lord himself is the Lord of peace. We are to pattern our lives to be testimonies for Jesus. We are to strive to be like him to the best of our abilities. He wants you and me to live on this earth in comfort, peace, joy, understanding and with the wisdom he gives us. We cannot accomplish this goal unless we are concentrating on him. We must be focused on him and not the problems around us. The devil wants nothing more than to cut us down and destroy every thought that we have that helps us in following Jesus. He stands in our way at every turn by throwing boulders of doubt, rocks of worry and objects of fear in our way. To be an overcomer we must stay focused on Jesus and stand in the face of fear, doubt and worry and claim our victory in Jesus. Our faith must stay strong in the face of danger. Doubt, worry and fear cannot exist in the same place as faith in our Lord. With faith in Jesus, we can do all things. We can crush the boulders of doubt, kick the rocks of worry out of our way and completely destroy all objects of fear put in our path. Listen to the Holy Spirit. Follow the ways of Jesus. Continue read and meditate upon his word, know and pray his promises. Focus on our Lord and not the world around us. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
