How Can I Still Have
“P.E.A.C.E.”?
It matters not the obstacles that are bombarding us. Nor the attacks that we are enduring; in the midst of it all – I can demand my PEACE!
Peace is not the absence of everything that is presenting an opposition. I will have PEACE when I learn to develop the mindset of a victorious conqueror. I must learn how to never lose my focus. I must also understand the concepts that are displayed in these five words.
P -“Presence” - If I invite the presenceª of God to intervene;
E -“Endure” - If I endure¹ as a warrior, not whine like a wimp; and view
my situation as an open door and not a dead end;
A -“Ask” - If I ask² God for guidance, and not just do what “I” think is best;
C -“Cry” - If I cry³ out to the Lord first– and not to other people;
E -“Expect” - If I expectº and accept. Expect God to give me a strategy – so I’ll
keep an open ear - knowing that I must accept the process.
So….YES! I can still have PEACE in the midst of it all…..But the key is to:
Invite in the Presence of God into every situation; then to “Endure”; to “Ask” God for help; To “Cry” to Him and to “Expect” Him to change ME even when the situation doesn’t APPEAR to be changing.
