DAY 16 - Perfect Peace

By

             

DAY 16

Read : Isaiah 26:3-4

It is of absolute importance that we safeguard our peace in God in a time such as this. It is necessary that we are resting in Him. Isaiah 26:3 speaks about perfect peace. Peace implies tranquility, harmony, completeness, safety, well-being, contentment, prosperity, welfare and health. We can have peace with God because of Christ’s finished work on the cross. We experience peace with others and ourselves when there is forgiveness.

As the Jewish rabbis taught, peace is the container of all the blessings of God. The peace that I can have in God is because Jesus loves me, He cares for me, He is with me. I experience all the blessings God has for me because of Jesus. I am alive, I am loved, cared for and above all I know Jesus as my Lord and Saviour.

Peace is the greatest of God’s blessings. Without His peace I allow the blessings of God to slip away from my life. Andrew Murray describes humility this way, “Humility is perfect quietness of heart. It is to expect nothing, to wonder at nothing that is done to me, to feel nothing done against me. It is to be at rest when nobody praises me, and when I am blamed or despised. It is to have a blessed home in the Lord, where I can go in and shut the door, and kneel to my Father in secret, and am at peace as in a deep sea of calmness, when all around and above is trouble”.  www.newhopetv.org

The best way to move forward is to forgive and enjoy God’s peace.

:: Prayer ::

Forgive us Lord, for being irritated, agitated and disappointed. Help us to be at rest in You in the core of our being. May we enjoy and celebrate Your peace. We ask this in Jesus name. Amen.

             Day 15  Read: John 20:19-23 Christ has destroyed the power of death through His work on the cross and His resurrecton. He is risen and He is with us. The disciples stayed behind locked doors in fear and isolaton afer Jesus was crucifed. The frst words Jesus spoke to them was, “Peace be with you” (John 20:19) And my peace I give unto you” (John 16:33). The Lord wants us to be in absolute peace and contentment. The word ‘Shalom’ implies absolute harmony, lacking nothing!                       www.newhopetv.org In the midst of the Coronavirus situaton, Jesus tells us to be at peace. We live discouraged, disheartened, disconnected lives, lacking joy in our relatonships. But in Jesus, we are more than conquerors. We can live in peace and harmony.

DAY 32 - God At Work

                            DAY 32 Read: Genesis 37:31-36 Psalm 53:5 says, they feared where no fear had been. Joseph’s brothers sold him off and informed their father that Joseph had been eaten by the wild animals. Jacob on hearing this news tore his clothes put on sack cloth and was a broken man. He refused to be comforted. Meanwhile, God was working in an amazing way. Joseph was taken by Potiphar, the captain in Pharaoh’s army. While Jacob wept, God was working out His plan.      www.newhopetv.org Often when we think all is lost and there is nothing to look forward to, God is still at work. He will fulfill His promises. He is in control of everything. Jacob was weeping for his son Joseph thinking he was dead while God was raising him up. Trust God to be true to His promises.  To be continuously sad is rebellion and disobedience toward God. :: Prayer :: Forgive us for weeping, grieving, being anxious, afraid and worried. You are working behind the scenes to make something beautiful

DAY 34 - Be A Blessing

                              DAY 34 Read: Genesis 40:1-8 Another important virtue we see in Joseph is his concern for the people around him. In Genesis 40:6, the cupbearer and baker are in prison and are dejected. Joseph asks them the reason and is led to help them. Though Joseph himself had enough problems of his own: being sold by his brothers, falsely accused, put in prison, he still chose to think of others. Look out for people who are suffering, it makes our dark periods lighter, it helps to shift the focus from ourselves to others. It makes us think less about ourselves and more about the needs of others. As Paul exhorts us, we need to look out for the interests of others. As we see in Job 42:10, God waited, as Job moved from his suffering to interceding and then to restoration.          As the renowned cardiologist, professional educator and author Dr. B.M. Hegde says that  “ I” “I” leads to Illness;  “ We “ We ” leads to Wellness/Wholeness/Health. Let us not be lost in self-pi
