Day 5 Today's Theme: Peace

Praising God For His Peace

But now in Chirst Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ. for He Himself is our peace.

Ephesians 2:13-14

On many occasions, our outer struggles are simply manifestions of the inner conflicts that we feelwhen we stray from

God's promise of peace,

The beautiful words of john 14:27 remind us that Jesus offers peace, not as the world gives, but as He alone gives:

"Peace I leave with you.

My peace I give to you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Your heart must not be troubled or fearful" (HCSB).

As believers, our challenge is straightforward: we should welcome Christ"s peace into our hearts and then, as best we can share His peace with our neighbors.

Today, as a gift to yourself, to your family, and to your friends, invite Christ to preside over every aspect of yourlife. It's the best way to live and the surest path to peace...today and forever.

I leave you peace; my peace I give to you.

I do not give it to you as the world does.

So don't let your hearts be troubled or afraid.

John 14:27 NCV

-------------------------------------------

May the God of hope fill you with all joy

and peace as you trust in him,

so that you may overflow with hope by

the power of the Holy pirit.

Romans 15:13 NIV
