Thoughts for another day

Today's verse: Is. 26:12. LORD, thou wilt ordain peace for us: for thou also hast wrought all our works in us. (KJV)

(Pls. read the above before you read further.  Thanks)

The condition of a fulfilled life is peace with tranquility; a life whose signature is harmony with all.  There’s no room for malice or hate or even anger because we think someone else is in charge of our fate, while the fact of the matter is that God and God alone is the author of our destiny, and having received our response to His call, much, much before we were even born or a day had come to be, He authored the path our lives will take on the basis of the innermost thoughts of our hearts.

For those of us who’re thickly in love with God, He will write peace – yea, a peace that passes all understanding for who can understand the calm when there’s an uproar or even fathom the stillness of a heart when everything is crumbling?  True there’ll be strife in the world, but take comfort; for He says, ‘I have conquered the world.’  As His ambassadors, don’t you think we must trust His Word?  There isn’t anything more the Lord God of heaven and earth has to do to equip us with full liberty and confidence.  While on the Cross Jesus said, ‘It is finished’, means it’s finished, there’s nothing you or I, can sit and work out which isn’t finished.  HE HAS DONE IT ALL. 

Now what he has done is for you and me and everybody and what is done, we see unfolding as we live.  Success, fame, riches, wealth, a gentle countenance, a pure heart and all the many characteristics that form us are from Him.  As we have asked and as He deigned to give, we have received; for once again I say, He has done all our works in us.  We need to perceive and watch for the things we don’t see with lenses of faith, clad with the cloak of hope.  Trust God, no matter how difficult it seems to do that at this time and surely, you will see the rainbow in the sky – the fulfillment of His promises because He loves you so much.
