Philippians 4:7 “And the peace of GOD, which surpasses all understanding, will guard (and GUIDE) your hearts and your minds in CHRIST JESUS.”
HIS Peace-Filled Directions!
To all my disappointments, hear this acceptance bound in writing…
…and! It’s sad to add the greatest gap was mine.
When I‘ve failed to follow forward HIM in faith without a worry!
Thus Anxiety was crippling, coupling with both Doubt and Time.
But GOD! Oh blessed FATHER! How my life has changed with THEE!
Now no more are there misgivings; now no longer I retreat!
So together with the Body shall my praise join with — increasing;
“Holy, Holy is YOUR NAME — yea! YOU never disappoint!”
As HIServant rejoicing in HIS presence anew this morning,

Devotional: John 14:27, which states, “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.”
Waiting on JESUS still requires steps of faith.
I’d like to repeat that: “Waiting on JESUS still requires steps of faith.”
While that may seem like a contradiction, “waiting” requires active steps of patience.
Standing in HIS footprints demands crushing the urge to move ahead of HIM.
Big question then! How do we know when to move?
Is it a sign, a feeling, some sensation, a word of knowledge, or something else?
Well! Faith and prayer bind as one WHEN solely seeking HIS will.
Situations that we question direction in, in my experience, will then present themselves as no longer “doable”.
At some point in our daily devotion and prayer, it becomes clear at the intersection of Decision.
Therefore! Prioritize GOD and family, Beloved.
With consistent and even relentless focus in that order,
…our inquiries into “Which Way, LORD?”
WILL be met by HIS peace…leading the way!
2 Thessalonians 3:16 “Now may the LORD of peace HIMSELF give you peace at all times in every way. The LORD be with you all.”
Lead on then, oh LORD! Amen and amen.
