Good morning, day or evening🌞
Focus on the PEACE Christ provides and not the chaos of the day. One empowers and the other steals your strength.
Stolen strength feeds evil. Evil seems to be emboldened days. If we all take back our strength and abide in the peace of Christ, following his laws, we can overcome the evil of the day. We are all part of one body, let us focus on the peace of Christ.
During my nightly meditation, I reflected on peace—what it is and how to experience it—and God clarified this for me.
Whenever you do any of the following and trust in God’s Word—not simply say them but believe them—you will be at peace.
Prayers about peace.
Jeremiah 29:11
For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.
Job 22:21
Agree with God and be at peace; thereby good will come to you.
John 14:27
“Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.”
Jude 1:2
May mercy, peace, and love be multiplied to you.
Luke 2:14
“Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among those with whom he is pleased!”
Philippians 4:7
And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:9
What you have learned and received and heard and seen in me—practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you.
God’s quiet voice, often described as the still, small voice, is a profound and deeply personal aspect of spiritual connection. It is the gentle and loving guidance that emanates from the divine, a subtle yet influential force that can shape the course of one’s life. This quiet voice has been depicted throughout history and across various religious and spiritual traditions as the tender whisper that stirs the soul, leading individuals towards acts of kindness, moments of insight, and decisions that align with their highest good. Whether it is recognized as the voice of conscience, the gentle tug of intuition, or the peaceful reassurance that comes during times of uncertainty, the quiet voice of God has the power to bring about profound transformation and a sense of inner peace. It is a reminder that divine presence and guidance can be found in the quietest of moments, in the subtlest of nudges, and in the whispers of the heart. Tuning into this gentle guidance enriches the spiritual journey, fosters a deeper connection with the divine, and offers a sense of purpose and fulfillment that comes from aligning one’s life with the wisdom and love of the divine.
Summary:
God’s quiet voice is a gentle, subtle presence that speaks to our hearts and souls. It’s a soft whisper of wisdom, guidance, and direction that can be easily overlooked if we’re not paying attention. This quiet voice guides us toward a life of purpose, meaning, and fulfillment through intuition, conscience, and inner conviction.
Sometimes in life, we may feel drawn toward the complicated, the ambiguous, or even the troubled paths—those “murky waters” that can cloud our perspective and obscure the simple joys around us. Yet, within the clarity of everyday moments, there is an unmistakable splendor that reveals itself when we pause and truly look.
Finding God’s Beauty in Everyday Moments
To avoid the murky waters is to choose clarity, wisdom, and peace over confusion and turmoil. It is a conscious decision to turn away from distractions and negativity, to seek out the goodness that is present in each day. This approach does not mean ignoring the realities of life’s challenges or pretending that darkness does not exist. Rather, it is an invitation to recognize the beauty that shines through, even amidst difficulty.
From the golden hues of sunrise to the gentle laughter of friends, God’s beauty can be seen, felt, and experienced in countless ways. Nature, art, acts of kindness, and moments of quiet reflection all echo the divine presence that permeates creation. By attuning our senses and hearts to these reflections, we deepen our sense of gratitude and wonder.
God’s beauty is everywhere—woven into the tapestry of daily life. When we choose not to seek out the murky waters but instead focus on the brilliance and wonder that surround us, we align ourselves with hope, faith, and joy. Let this reflection serve as a gentle reminder to look for light, even when shadows fall, and to find God’s presence in all that you see.
The Lord promises to be with us when we are broken-hearted. He may not remove the circumstances, there are lessons in all aspects of life, just as there are consequences to some of the circumstances we experience.
The upside is – we can rest in knowing He will help us navigate the path as we walk through it. He will remain close and show us a way through, a way of escape, and we will continue down the path of righteousness.
The Lord is with us in the best of times and the worst of times. He will never leave us or forsakes us. There is comfort in knowing He is always with you.
