“P.E.A.C.E.”
Can I still have PEACE?
Simply because peace is a mindset and is not determined by my current situations or circumstances; peace is always available to me. I just need to acquire the correct tools and avail myself to the proper implementation of the same!
Tools For Maintaining The Peace of God
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 not just do what “I” think is best (Proverbs 2:5-7);
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; Endure; Ask God for help; Cry to Him and Expect Him to change ME even when the situation doesn’t APPEAR to be changing.
