God’s Peace
 Toni Smothers
 
Scripture Reading: Philippians 3:8-14
 Click here to read the scripture
Scripture Quote: Don't worry about anything, but pray about everything. With thankful hearts offer up your prayers and requests to God. Then, because you belong to Christ Jesus, God will bless you with peace that no one can completely understand. And this peace will control the way you think and feel. Philippians 4:6-7 CEV
 
Communion with Jesus gives us clarity and affirms how to live with strength of character and devotion to the Devine. A relationship with our Savior is worth whatever personal adjustments we must make. We can choose to resist the enemy and make a sincere effort to live a godly life, even when the walk can sometimes seem solitary. So then how do we deal with the televised murder of our policemen? And, what is a Christian to think of radical Islamic brutes butchering their women or further feeding their voracious and indiscriminate brutality by slaughtering whomever doesn’t believe in their abominable Islam?
 
Do those things make you feel especially peaceful? Christ said that He would give us peace that was not like the peace the world offers. That is the peace we must cling to even in our despair over innocents being ravished by evil men. We must seek His peace by understanding that there are things that are completely out of our control. What we can do, however, is we can pray and we can hope - The rest is up to God!
 
Today’s meditation: In the face of evil, stand strong in God’s peace.
 
Memory Verse: Finally, my friends, keep your minds on whatever is true, pure, right, holy, friendly, and proper. Don't ever stop think- ing about what is truly worthwhile and worthy of praise. Phil. 4:8 CEV

​La paz de Dios

Lectura bíblica: Filipenses 3: 8-14
 Haga clic aquí para leer la escritura
Cita de las Escrituras: No te preocupes por nada, pero reza por todo. Con corazones agradecidos, ofrezca sus oraciones y peticiones a Dios. Entonces, debido a que usted pertenece a Cristo Jesús, Dios lo bendecirá con paz que nadie puede entender completamente. Y esta paz controlará la forma en que piensas y sientes. Filipenses 4: 6-7 CEV
 
La comunión con Jesús nos da claridad y afirma cómo vivir con fuerza de carácter y devoción a Devine. Una relación con nuestro Salvador vale cualquier ajuste personal que tengamos que hacer. Podemos optar por resistir al enemigo y hacer un esfuerzo sincero por vivir una vida piadosa, incluso cuando el camino a veces parezca solitario. Entonces, ¿cómo lidiamos con el asesinato televisado de nuestros policías? Y, ¿qué piensa un cristiano de las bestias radicales islámicas que masacran a sus mujeres o alimentan más su voracidad e indiscriminada brutalidad matando a cualquiera que no crea en su abominable Islam?
 
¿Estas cosas te hacen sentir especialmente pacífico? Cristo dijo que nos daría la paz que no era como la paz que ofrece el mundo. Esa es la paz a la que debemos aferrarnos, incluso en nuestra desesperación, sobre inocentes siendo violados por hombres malvados. Debemos buscar su paz entendiendo que hay cosas que están completamente fuera de nuestro control. Sin embargo, lo que podemos hacer es rezar y esperar. ¡El resto depende de Dios!
 
La meditación de hoy: frente al mal, mantente firme en la paz de Dios.
 
Versículo para memorizar: Finalmente, mis amigos, mantengan sus mentes en lo que sea verdadero, puro, correcto, santo, amigable y apropiado. No deje de pensar en lo que realmente vale la pena y merece ser alabado. Phil. 4: 8 CEV
