Peace

Peace 

“You will keep in perfect Peace

those whose minds are steadfast, 

because they have trust in you.” 

(Isaiah 26 verse 3)

            Peace is a direct result of faith and trust. When situations are not what we like we have options. One is to fear negative results that may occur; another is to focus on how we can avoid or minimize negative impact. It is important to stay on a positive track and be steadfast!           

In life, we need to keep our eye on the sky, look upward and outward for the positive results. Our news and media outlet rating systems have proven that bad news sells and it is important. The bad news about pandemics, riots, fires, murders are important to hear but carry the risk dampening our positive attitudes! 

As Christians we need to be steadfast and positive; have a positive outlook. We need to be the leaders in fairness, equality, and in displaying the social values taught to us by Jesus. We can help solve the world's issues when we are steadfast and trust in our faith. 

Thought for Today: Today be positive in the face of all challenges. Let’s snatch peace from the grasp of negativity. 

Prayer for the Day: Dear Lord, today we give thanks for the opportunity to have peace in our lives. We pray that we may focus on doing your will and that through our steadfast love we will have peace and contribute to the peace of others.
