My Devotional Journal: Today's Our Daily Bread author, Adam Holz … AT THIS LINK … tells of a peaceful nap being interrupted by the chaos and noise of the ODB author’s son playing his guitar; … but then hearing the peaceful strains of his daughter playing Amazing Grace on the family piano, showing the author that God’s peace and grace are available even in the chaos of this world.
Sometimes it’s difficult to find peace in the uncaring chaos of this world, isn’t it? But if my readers have take the time to take in the linked song and mediated on the Scriptures above, God wants us to see that we can - AND WILL - find God’s peace by being willing to surrender our will and let a caring God, thru His Spirit, give us His empowering grace to find His peace.
Personally that is my pursuit each morning as I come here, to my quiet place to hear from my God, primarily thru His word, as cast my cares and stresses aside and just be with my Lord Who cares for me thru His truth. Where … and how … do you find God’s peace amid the chaos of this world?
My THANKFULNESS: ... Oh, Abba Father, thank You, King Jesus, … for giving me Your peace, Lord, but shining Your light on my path thru Your word.
My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, ... . I pray that all reading here will join me, … to seek after the peace You have for us, Lord, in the grace You provide for us thru Your word. Amen
