Verse for today:<\/h2>\n

Psalm 29: 11\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The LORD gives strength to his people; the LORD blesses his people with peace.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Complete peace; inward peace and the fullness of peace is in fellowship with God.<\/p>\n

All you have to do is turn on your T.V. any night of the week and you will see that we are living in a world full of turmoil. Most of what is in the news is bad news. Our lives are characterized by an lack of peace and a presence of turmoil. \u00a0Wars, the struggle, the strife and confrontation going on in our world is simply an outward manifestation of the inner turmoil going on within the souls of men and women. From the lack of peace within nations to the lack of peace between two people, it all reflects a lack of peace from within people.<\/p>\n

Perhaps the answer lies in the nature of the peace we are pursuing. It is apparent that there are many in this world frantically involved in a quest for peace, but is the peace that is being sought really true peace?<\/p>\n

\u201cThou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.\u201d
\nIsaiah 26:3<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Peace of heart is peace of mind. The table of the heart, mind and spirit has to be cleared as the battle is won from the heart. \u00a0As a man thinks in his heart so is he. One is a product of his thoughts.<\/p>\n

Remember, Jesus said, \u00abPeace I leave with you; My peace I give to you; not as the world gives, do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, nor let it be fearful.\u00bb<\/p>\n
