Peaceful on Purpose
When Jesus left this earth, He said that He was leaving His peace with
us. Now the decision we have to make is, are we going to choose to live
in the peace He has given us?
Of course, the devil works overtime to try to get you upset. Why?
Because he knows that if you don't remain peaceful, you can't hear from
God.
If you watch your life, you'll be amazed at how many times a week Satan
launches an attack against you for the sole purpose of stealing your
peace. When I finally saw that, God said to me in my spirit, "Joyce, if
the devil wants your peace that badly, then there must be something
pretty powerful about being peaceful."
It's true! So now when the devil tries to steal my peace, I enjoy
holding on to it, knowing that I'm getting the better of him. That
doesn't mean I don't feel upset, but I can do something positive about
it, I can control myself and be peaceful on purpose.
Being peaceful on purpose is something we have to do for ourselves. Will you choose God's peace?
Prayer Starter: Lord, thank You for providing me with Your peace. When
the devil tries to steal my peace, reveal his plans to me. I won't let
him take my peace. Instead, I'll remain rooted in You.
