“P.E.A.C.E.”
How can I still have peace?
It doesn’t matter what I’m encountering….I can still have peace. However I must realize that God has given to me a strategy that must be implemented. I must also realize that peace is not the absence of adversity – but a mindset.
So… How can I renew my mind to the extent that I can receive God’s solution and apply it to every situation? The following can assist.
P -“Presence” - If I invite the presence of God to intervene; (Exodus 33: 14)
E -“Endure” - If I endure as a warrior, not whine like a wimp; and view
my situation as an open door and not a dead end;
(James 1:22; II Timothy 2:3)
A -“Ask” - If I ask God for guidance and the proper strategy to successfully
outwit the enemy in this situation.;, and don’t just do what “I”
think is best; (Proverbs 3:5-7)
C -“Cry” - If I cry out to the Lord first– and not to other people;
(Psalm 30:2)
E -“Expect” - If I expect and accept. Expect God to give me a strategy – so I’ll
keep an open ear - knowing that I must accept the process.
(Philippians 4:13; Psalm 86:11; Psalm 25:5)
So….YES! I can still have PEACE in the midst of it all…..But the key is to:
Invite in the PRESENCE of God; Be determined to ENDURE; ASK God for help; CRY to Him and EXPECT Him to change ME even when the situation doesn’t APPEAR to be changing.
