​The PEACE of God

Our Lord Jesus Christ commanded His angels concerning us to guard us in all our ways. Even our toileting without stress is the blessing of peace.
Talking about God’s peace reminds me of another scripture where God says His blessings enriches and add no sorrow. Proverbs 10:22. We have the peace of God when we realise that He has given us all we need, prepared us for the lives we each live and has equipped us for the challenges of life. Psalm 23 says, ‘The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not lack’. Best of us all, He has given us the armour to stand against the wiles of the enemy through His Word and so, we shall live and not die but declare the glory of God. Psalm 118:17. Even if the world around you crashes, God will give you His peace. Psalm 91.
This week, remember the thoughts of Peace the Lord our God has towards you in every aspect of your life. Let this give you all hope, dear sisters in Christ.  I pray that the PEACE of God that passeth all understanding shall keep our hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. AMEN. Philippians 4:7. This will be the portion of our families and loved ones too. Amen.
Jeremiah 29:11 – For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says Jehovah, thoughts of peace and not of evil to give you hope in your latter end. Thank You Papa God that the thoughts and plans You have for us are for Peace and good, not evil. This season, we will choose to align ourselves with the leading of Your Holy Spirit and we will see peace and goodness in our lives. Amen. There is a song that goes:  ‘Jesus started with prayer and ended with prayer…’ This tells us that whatever our focus or theme is on this forum, prayer is vital.
Peace in world terms is the absence of conflict but for us as Christians, Peace is a blessing which can be experienced in many aspects of our lives, but which many of us take for granted. When you go to bed each night without the fear of not waking up, it is peace. God says he gives His beloved sleep. Or when you go out in the morning to pursue your daily labour without any fear and arrive safely home at the end of the day in one piece, it is the peace of God. God says in Psalms 91:11, that He has commanded His angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways.
