"Though the mountains be shaken and the hills be removed, yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken nor my covenant of peace be removed," says the Lord, who had compassion on you. "-Isaiah 54:10
How great a promise that is to those who believe in God! No matter what happens, God will be right that by us. He will give us His Peace to win His people over. We might fight it a lot because we might not know what His peace is at first or who we need to tell the good news to. Having His peace in our lives is one of the greatest childlike delights that we often overlook.
This verse was in my yesterday's devo about how we should have childlike delights in God and follow Him. I agree. If we look at everything like a child does then we would have a worry free life. Peace would be around us all the time. Just think of how children play around with each other and say things we think are funny yet so True but they aren't scared to say it. I love being around children because there is a Peace there for me.
Not just any children for me but abused and neglected ones and ones in poverty. Within there, lies the victory for me and the children are my kind of people. Sometimes even their family could be a victory too depending on the situation. That's my mission right now is to bring hope and love to those children and when I know it I will know I have a victory.
I see little victories everyday though. A child learning how to talk (aka saying all done) to a 3 year old just learning how to eat and play with toys. It could also be to see how they just start to play with their siblings if they never have it even other children, going down the slide with someone else with a smile on their face, or kicking a ball for the first time. Forgot an important thing to could also be when they are just getting the routine that you have been doing over and over for 3 months at least. God amazes me everyday! It is when I see those victories that God's Peace hits me again and again because it reminds me why I'm doing what I'm doing. It gets me through the day sometimes. Some days I ask myself how did I get through that and the only answer is God's Peace.
Again you might have mountains or Hills in your life, whether job or personal. I know I have some personal ones too right now that I need God's Peace and help over to have a victory in those situations. I just don't want the whole world to know those situations so I don't write about them as often. Sometimes it is an ongoing thing that you have to keep praying about until God gives you an answer.
EVERY MOUNTAIN OR HILL CAN BE A VICTORY WHEN YOU HAVE GOD'S PEACE WITH YOU! :) Don't ever forget that! :)
Maybe another title for this entry could be "God's Peace Brings the Appearance of God". Which title is better for this entry?
