“PEACE IS GOD’S CONTINUAL GIFT TO YOU. It flows abundantly from GOD’S throne of grace. Just as the Israelites could not store up manna for the future but had to gather it daily, so it is with GOD’S Peace. The day-by-day collecting of manna kept The LORD’S people aware of their dependence on HIM. Similarly, GOD gives you sufficient Peace for the present, when you come to HIM by prayer and petition with thanksgiving. If GOD gave you permanent Peace, independent of HIS Presence, you might fall into the trap of self-sufficiency. May that never be! GOD has designed you to need HIM moment by moment. As your awareness of your neediness increases, so does your realization of GOD’S abundant sufficiency. The LORD can meet every one of your needs without draining HIS resources at all. Approach GOD’S throne of grace with bold confidence, receiving GOD’S Peace with a thankful heart.”
Scripture
Moses said to them, “It is the bread the LORD has given you to eat. This is what the LORD has commanded: ‘Each one is to gather as much as he needs. Take an omer for each person you have in your tent.’” The Israelites did as they were told; some gathered much, some little. . . . Each one gathered as much as he needed. Then Moses said to them, “No one is to keep any of it until morning.” However, some of them paid no attention to Moses; they kept part of it until morning, but it was full of maggots and began to smell. So Moses was angry with them. EXODUS 16 : 15 – 20
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. . . . And my God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus. PHILIPPIANS 4 : 6 – 7, 19
Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need. HEBREWS 4 : 16
Prayer
Prayer: Lord thank you for your abundant mercy, grace, and love you shower on me each day. Give me your peace for today, Lord. Holy Spirit please fill me with the fruits of the Spirit so much so that they overflow onto those around me today and they see You. In Jesus’ precious name. Amen.
