GODS’ PEACE
“Now may the Lord of peace Himself give you peace always in every way. The Lord be with you all.”
II Thessalonians 3:16 NKJV
GOD WILL GIVE US HIS PEACE THAT PASSES ALL UNDERSTANDING, ONLY AND IF WE ALLOW HIM TO DO SO IN OUR LIVES.
When we are willing to live in and by the All Powerful Peace of God, we can have His Peace.
We give aside our ways of trying to figure out things. How to make 2 + 2 = 4; how to make all the loose ends come together.
There is no peace in constantly trying to “one-up” God on how to make life’s problems and situations work.
There is no joy, no peace, no constant relying on God as our Source.
If anything, we are actually relying on ourselves and only using God as our “standby”.
God sees us as we go back and forth trying to “make a way”, trying to “pull it all together.”
We become so consumed with the problem we forget that this is completely against God’s will for our lives.
We can never solve our problems the way God wants, because only He knows our future.
Dear Reader, there is no absolute peace in our lives if it does not come from GOD THE HOLY SPIRIT.
The Holy Spirit is in this world for this purpose to guide and direct our every step and
without His peace to make the right decision, there is no way anyone can know which way to turn.
As the saying goes, “Just let go and let God.”

Beautiful post, Gloria. I’m reminded of these lyrics as I read…
As soon as I stop worrying
Worrying how the story ends
I let go and I let God
Let God have His way
That’s when things start happening
When I stopped looking at back then
I let go and I let God
Let God have his way
(Dewayne Woods)
Amen! I never want to be guilty of using God as a “stand-by”! Great word!! ((hugs))
You are right, Gloria; complete peace only comes from God. If we let go and let God, it makes it easier to travel through the valley of sorrow.
