Feed Your Peace

The world says grab all you can, can all you grab, sit on the can, and poison the rest. But that’s the selfish fuel for anger, anxiety, fear, and frustration. And it will boil over in your life. In other words, it’s the recipe for rage.

Insecurity makes you anxious. Pride makes you angry. Discontent makes you frustrated. And fear makes you feel like you’ll never be truly happy. And so, you rage.

What’s the answer? Feed your peace. It starts on your inside, and flows to your outside. Find your security in who Jesus is. Leave your pride at the foot of the cross. Be content knowing that God is working everything for your good. And rejoice that your eternity will be nothing but happy, forever.

James 3:18 says peacemakers will plant seeds of peace and reap a harvest of righteousness. In other words, peace-loving lifestyles lead to fields of righteous choices. Instead of raging emotions. Feed your peace.

Mountain Moving Faith

People talk about having the kind of faith that can move mountains. But does that mean you can just remove any and all obstacles in your life? Well, in Matthew 21:21, Jesus said that if you have faith and do not doubt, even if you say to this mountain, ‘Be lifted up and thrown into the sea,’ it will happen. So why isn’t this happening? Because sometimes we are doubting.

It’s not doubting God can move the mountain. It’s looking at the wrong mountain. You see, 1 Corinthians 13:2 says if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. And Galatians 5:6 says the only thing that matters is faith working through love. So, you might have great faith, but if love isn’t growing in your heart, your faith isn’t going to move that mountain. Until you realize that the mountain that needs moving is YOU.

A Prayer for America

Heavenly Father, we praise you for who you are. And our prayer is that your righteousness would prevail at every level. In government and society. In our homes, schools, and communities. In our policies, pronouncements, and decisions. In our churches, that we may see a wave of true repentance, and revival. And a great awakening in our country, as people are born again into the kingdom of God. And that this would influence others toward right thinking and action, with all wisdom and prudence.

Our Father, we pray that you would bless the United States of America to shine as an example to the world. Not by sanctioning our choices, but by stirring our hearts and steering our paths. May the Holy Spirit lead us in the paths of righteousness for your name’s sake. May your word be magnified and your kingdom multiplied, for your glory.

This we ask in Jesus’ name, amen.
