September was a time of warm weather, bright sunny skies, long
walks, boat rides and patio dining with friends. Ahhh! The last vestiges of
summer were savored. At the same time, there is unrest and devastation around
us.
It is tough to
maintain our peace with political hatred and violence, and the heartbreaking
news of hurricane damage and lost lives and livelihoods. What do we do when we
can’t find peace?
Focus on the inner
workings of Jesus. Keep going back to Him where peace, joy and hope reside. It
always and forever goes back to Jesus. He is our firm foundation, our anchor in
the storm, our truth through the turmoil. Let’s step into the world He offers
with some Scriptures and take in some peace of mind.
God offers us
spiritual blessings not found anywhere else. When our world is changing and
appears out of control, our God remains steadfast and unchanging.
Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming
down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting
shadows. James 117
The
spiritual blessings offered from Jesus are heaven-sent!
Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord, Jesus
Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms, with every spiritual
blessing in Christ. Ephesians 1:3
Father,
We thank you for our heavenly blessings, for the good gifts
that are given only through and by Your Son, Jesus.
Amen
