True peace does not mean the absence of trials and

hardship, but rather a sence of tranquility and

serenity even in the midst of those difficulties.

Very good A4C - and so true.

I was just thinking the other day:   What if I had a day with no problems?

What would a day be like, for us, with no problems?

It would be..... Heaven!
No, I mean it literally will be Heaven!

As Christians we accept one foundational truth - God - and everything else makes sense. An atheist denies God and has to accept incredible explanations for everything else. It takes more faith to deny God than to believe in Him.

A man says to me, "Can you explain the seven trumpets of the Revelation?" No, but I can blow one in your ear, and warn you to escape from the wrath to come.

May you permit the eyes of your understanding ever to be enlightened, Ephesians 1:15-23.

May you permit the eyes of your understanding ever to be enlightened, Ephesians 1:15-23.
I hope you don't mind   but I thought it was a beautiful passage and wanted to post it!

Ephesians 1:
15   Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the saints,
16   Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers;
17   That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him:
18   The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,
19   And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power,
20   Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places,
21   Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come:
22   And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church,
23   Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all.

This: "21  Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come:"

Reminded me of this:

Did you know that an eagle knows when a storm is approaching long before it breaks? The eagle will fly to some high spot and wait for the winds to come. When the storm hits, it sets its wings so that the wind will pick it up and lift it above the storm. While the storm rages below, the eagle is soaring above it.

The eagle does not escape the storm. It simply uses the storm to lift it higher. It rises on the winds that bring the storm. When the storms of life come upon us - and all of us will experience them - we can rise above them by setting our minds and our belief toward God. The storms do not have to overcome us. We can allow God's power to lift us above them.

God enables us to ride the winds of the storm that bring sickness, tragedy, failure and disappointment in our lives. We can soar above the storm. Remember, it is not the burdens of life that weigh us down, it is how we handle them.

The Bible says, "Those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles." Isaiah 40:31

I encourage each of you to plan each day, not around what you need to accomplish for yourself, but around all there is to accomplish for Christ's sake and His glory ("Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or what so ever ye do, do all to the glory of God. " I Cor 10:31).
 
 
 

[sincereheart]

Amen!  


do all to the glory of God

do ALL not some or most! I'm still working on that part!
