With so much going on across our nation this past week, my heart is heavy.......
From Boston to Texas.....
The pain and grief is un-imaginable...
The shock is overwhelming......
The anger is justified.........
Unanswered questions that are consuming......
Fear that is real.
Where is peace in the midst of all this pain?
Or better yet.....
What is true peace in all this crazy, senseless pain??
The peace the world has to offer is a temporary feeling.....
It is short lived, based on emotions and circumstances.
It has no solid foundation....
No substance.......
It can be compared to standing in sand, here for just a short time before the tide washes it away.
It is when we have the peace of God we have true peace.....
The peace of God......
Knowing we are not in control, but He is......
Knowing we can't change certain events in our lives, but we can stand in His presence......
He is our rock, He is our solid foundation.....
A foundation that can not be shakin'.....
A foundation that will not wash away with the tide.
My prayers as we start a new week for those who have been effected in the tragedies across the nation will feel the peace of God in the midst of their pain.
Blessings and Love ,
Stacey

27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

ReplyDeleteHi, thank you for your heart-felt post. I am so thankful for our Lord's peace that holds us in the grip of grace.
ReplyDeleteBlessings in His name.
Your heart is filled with such passion. He is your foundation, and you share it so well with others. Have a great week this week, my friend!
ReplyDeleteHi Stacey, this morning as I checked up on facebook i came across a picture with the scripture on of Phil 4 v8: about thinking on whatever is good and of good cheer, etc and decided that my focus would be on those things this week. If we allow it to, the things of this world would have us flattened. We have to stand to show others they can too.
ReplyDeleteGod bless my friend, great post
