"For God is not the author of confusion but of peace..." 1 Corinthians 14:33 (NKJV)
Mountains with cool streams running through snow-capped rocks... An infant sleeping in his cradle... Waves slapping on the beach with the sun melting into the sea... Total silence...
What comes to your mind when you think of “peace”? Go ahead... think… Think of something until you actually begin to feel yourself relax. Okay, that feeling? That calmness? That sense of peace?... That’s
nothing compared to what God can give you. His peace is like no other.
Have you been feeling as though a little confusion has slipped its way into your life? (Okay, maybe a lot?!) Then relax in knowing that in a world full of confusion and chaos, there is Someone who still remains in control. Someone who
is peace.
God will be the peace that you seek,
if you seek Him. God is peace. God likes order, and wants you to come to Him for direction and peace. Before you go another step, before you spend another moment trying to plan what it is that you
must do next on your “list of things to do”, seek Him
first to find your peace.
Pray:
Dear Heavenly Father,
There is confusion in my life right now, and even though I’ve tried to make sense of it and tried to fix it, I can no longer put “bandages” on a wound that goes deeper than what I can see on the surface. I pray this week, as I come to You to get out of my state of confusion and chaos, that You would guide me and bring me peace.
In Jesus’ name,
Amen.
