Word of Encouragement for Every New Day ~ 20 Nov 2007

As we draw closer and closer to the Christmas season and into the new years, it isn’t about making new year resolutions, it isn’t about looking back at the past year and find out what you need to change and fix it. Today’s word of encouragement is finding peace and making peace. Peace in our hearts can only come from the Lord. Without peace in our hearts we are restless. Let us be aware that sometimes we try to find peace with our own strength. In our minds we might be at peace, but are our hearts really at peace? Today as I was praying for this word of encouragement, I felt that many of us are restless. Restless about our future careers, our family, financial provisions, and that we have many voids in our lives. The bitterness and hurt seems to swell up every part of our lives, affecting everything! If we are feeling restless, today is the day! Ask God to bring peace in our hearts in whatever we are going through right now. We have to pray out loud, cry in desperation to God, and see the peace of God fall upon us. Judges 6:16 The LORD answered, "I will be with you, and you will strike down all the Midianites together." The Lord our Father is always with us, it is a matter of us wanting to be with Him. Today let us find peace in our hearts. © Oct 2007 Shaun Lee
