If you want and need true peace today and in all the days to come, you must acknowledge that GOD IS YOUR SOURCE. (I am referring to THE GOD THAT CAN ONLY BE ACCESSED BY ACCEPTING JESUS CHRIST AS YOUR PERSONAL SAVIOR.) (Have you accepted JESUS CHRIST as your savior? If no, please click on the link in the bio here and then click on “First Things First” for insight about how you can accept the precious gift of salvation and experience a love like you have never known.)
Your thoughts, perceptions, actions and behavior must all come into alignment with your acknowledgement that GOD IS YOUR SOURCE. If not, you are likely to find yourself frustrated, worried, scared, depressed, confused, angry and or even hopeless. Things are happening in the world that you may have no control over. If you are waiting for things to go back to normal, please stop. Things have changed and there will be more changes. There will be more challenges. Your trust Must be in GOD if we want to live in peace. You can not see anything that you are a steward of as your source. Not a job. Not a business. Not finances. You can’t see any business relationship or any connection as your source. You can’t view any person as your source. Nothing and no one can be viewed as your source. People, places and things can be used by YOUR SOURCE, THE ONE AND TRUE LIVING GOD, to supply your needs and even bless you with cherished wants and desires. People, places and things can, and often do, change. (They sometimes change due to circumstances and situations beyond their own control.)
A few things about GOD and HIS promises to and plans for CHRISTIANS:
GOD DOES NOT CHANGE.
“6 “I the Lord do not change. So you, the descendants of Jacob, are not destroyed.” Malachi 3:6 (New International Version of THE HOLY BIBLE)
JESUS IS THE SAME YESTERDAY, TODAY AND FOREVERMORE.
“8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.” Hebrews 13:8 (New International Version of THE HOLY BIBLE)
GOD ALWAYS HAS MORE THAN ENOUGH TO MEET YOUR NEEDS.
“1 The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it,
the world, and all who live in it;
2 for he founded it on the seas
and established it on the waters.” Psalm 24:1 (New International Version of THE HOLY BIBLE)
GOD HAS GOOD PLANS FOR YOU.
“11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” Jeremiah 29:11 (New International Version of THE HOLY BIBLE)
GOD HAS PROMISED TO SUPPLY YOUR NEEDS.
“19 And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:19 (New International Version of THE HOLY BIBLE)
Is there any reason why you would not put your confidence in THE ONE AND TRUE LIVING GOD? Is there any reason why you would not acknowledge THE ONE AND TRUE LIVING GOD as your SOURCE?
“2 “Thus says the Lord who made the earth, the Lord who formed it to establish it—the Lord is His name, 3 ‘Call to Me and I will answer you, and tell you [and even show you] great and mighty things, [things which have been confined and hidden], which you do not know and understand and cannot distinguish.’ ” Jeremiah 33:2-:3 (Amplified Version of THE HOLY BIBLE)
“The joy of THE LORD is your strength”
“10 Nehemiah said, “Go and enjoy choice food and sweet drinks, and send some to those who have nothing prepared. This day is holy to our Lord. Do not grieve, for the joy of the Lord is your strength.”” Nehemiah 8:10 (King James Version of THE HOLY BIBLE)
“In thy presence is fulness of joy”
“11 Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.” Psalm 16:11 (King James Version of THE HOLY BIBLE)
“7 Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.” Proverbs 4:7 (King James Version of THE HOLY BIBLE)
“5 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.” Proverbs 3:5-6 (King James Version of THE HOLY BIBLE)
Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit says the Lord Almighty.
“6 So he said to me, “This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel: ‘Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit,’ says the Lord Almighty.” Zechariah 4:6 (New International Version of THE HOLY BIBLE)
“23 His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.” Matthew 25:23 (King James Version of THE HOLY BIBLE)
