You May Have Peace

Our Bible says that God is a "God of peace".  Nothing ever disturbs Him.  No earth-born storms invade the holy calm of His presence.  He is always at peace.  With perfect vision He sees  the end from the beginning.  In the working out of His plans and purposes there is neither haste nor delay.  Can you imagine God being anxious?  Impossible!  There is no problem to which He does not know the solution.  Nor is there any difficulty so great but He knows the way out, "There is nothing too hard" for the Lord (Jeremiah 32:17).  The Son is called "The Prince of Peace," and it is said that "of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end" (Isaiah 9:7).  That is because He understands the secret of peace.  When He came to this earth and lived as a man among men, one feature of His life that deeply impressed both His friends and enemies was His perfect poise.  Harsh criticism left Him unmoved.  Unkind words never made Him angry.  Rejection left Him sad but not revengeful.  Even on the cross He prayed for those who drove the nails through His hands and feet.  Today, He is inviting the weary and worried people who followed Him to share His placidity of spirit. "Come and learn my secret." "Come unto me, all those that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.  Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart; and you shall find rest unto your souls.  For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light" (Matthew 11:28-30).

Nailing My Sins To His cross

That day when they crucified my Saviour, He was willing to pay all the cost.  When they drove the nails through His body, they were nailing my sins to His cross. Oh the shame of it, my sins crucified Him that day, my sins were to blame.  Forgive me Lord I pray, I will live so the world can know that I love You for nailing my sins to the cross. Although this was centuries ago now, and I was not even living at all, The Bible says Jesus died for all sinners.  This includes me, Oh praise His dear name.  Thank you Jesus!

I Look To You, Dear Lord

You are my hope, the Lord of my life.  I wait on You and move cautiously in my decisions.  I am not ashamed to trust in Your guidance, Lord.  Instead I feel thankful for the trust in You.  I am filled with peace.  Throughout the day my thoughts often turn to You for direction and strength.  In quiet and confidence I find the strength only You can give. You, dear Father, are my Rock and my defender; I shall not fear.  I know I believe, and I am persuaded that You keep me close to You day by day. I look to You.  I doubt not in Your unfailing love for me.  Thank You.  In Jesus' name.  Amen.  Anita Corine Donihue

Laying Crowns At Jesus' Feet

Image
Revelation 3:11, "Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown."It is possible to earn a crown and then to lose it again.  Wouldn't that be a terrible tragedy? May God grant that it will not happen to us.  John 19:5 tells us of a mock coronation when they crowned the Lord Jesus with a cruel crown of thorns.  What a demonstration of the depravity of fallen man.  In Revelation 4:10-11, the elders take their crowns and give them to Jesus saying, "Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power."  I want to have crowns to lay at His feet at that time.  O the utter shame of a Christian who does  not have at least one crown to lay at His feet.  He wins the crown for us as we yield to Him.  The crown is rightly His, for He has won.  I desire to be able to lay many crowns at His blessed feet. What about you? Some of the crowns are: Crowns for runners: 1 Corinthians 9:24,25 Crowns for soul winners: 1 Thessalonian
