My Devotional Journal: Today's Our Daily Bread author, Kirsten Holmberg, AT THIS LINK … told of a young 4 year old, as his family left the church on Sunday, bolting and running back to the church. And when his mom reached the boy, who was sobbing, he reported that he wanted to be back where his friends were sharing stories about Jesus.
And how wonderful that the boy was learning God’s formula for worshipping God and finding our peace and joy in our relationship with Jesus at such an early age. And as we read God’s word above from King David, Isaiah, Jesus, and the Apostle Paul, … we see that God points us to what it takes to find peace in this very confusing and contentious world.
And I pray today that all reading here find that God gives us His peace thru His word and the closeness of our relationship with Jesus. That’s why you find me here, … beginning each day, … by seeking the peace that only my Jesus can bring to me, as Don Moen sings in the linked song. Oh, how I pray you are finding His peace today.
My THANKFULNESS: ... Oh, Abba Father, thank You, King Jesus, … for showing me the way to find peace in these troubled times.
My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, ... . I pray that all reading here will join me, … to seek and find Your peace, Lord, … thru Your truth and our relationship with You. … Amen
