Peace in a chaotic world. How do we do it? Remember that pressure and peace are not exclusives. We don't have to give up peace just because there's some pressure on us. And peace doesn't mean the absence of telephones or meals to cook or reports to finish. Peace is a state of mind; it begins with our thoughts. We can be peaceful in the midst of a very busy schedule.
Peter tells us that we must pursue peace—work at being peaceful, remember to refocus your mind. Get your mind refocused on the person who is our peace, Jesus Christ. You can do that while you're talking to people, busily working on something, darting somewhere in your car—whatever. Right in the midst of all that pressure, you can still know God's incredible peace.
Remember this: Your day is won or lost in the morning hours. Your lack of peace may be because you've sacrificed time with the Prince of Peace. ... Give God the time you need to be with him, and see how he stretches the rest of your time for you.
- Mary Whelchel
Amen...
