Day 225   A Promise Of Peace

Isaiah 54:10  Amplified Bible (AMP)

For though the mountains should depart and the hills be shaken or removed, yet My love and kindness shall not depart from you, nor shall My covenant of peace and completeness be removed, says the Lord, Who has compassion on you.

It seems like every time you turn on the news, the mountains are departing and the hills are shaking.  Perhaps you even feel like your mountains are shaking and departing.  In the midst of all of this, God promises “a covenant of peace and completeness.”

Is it possible?  Like I always say, “God, You shouldn’t have put that verse in the Bible if You didn’t mean it.”  The promise is for us and it is for today!

Here’s how I know for sure:

Day 224     In The Day

Psalm 56:9   Amplified Bible (AMP)

⁹ Then shall my enemies turn back in the day that I cry out; this I know, for God is for me.

 

This verse says to me that my enemies (sickness, strife, lack……) turns back in the day that I pray.

The Living Bible says, “The very day I call for help, the tide of the battle turns.  My enemies flee!”

Well, it certainly doesn’t look like it!  And it doesn’t feel like it!

That’s when we superimpose the Word of God over our senses.  We do not rely on what we see or what we feel.  The fact of the matter is “the very day I call for help, the tide of the battle turns.”

There comes a time when you settle things.  The Word of God has to take preeminence over what we see or feel.  If our senses are in control, we will be all over the map and we won’t know where to turn next.  We must let God’s Word be our focus….our roadmap to get us to where He wants us to go. 

            To our destiny

            To our healthy place

            To our provision

            To our peace

            To our joy

Open your Bible to any place and just read until the words jump off the page and come alive concerning what you have need of.

Prayer Focus:

Have a “meeting” with God.  See Him sitting across the table from you.  He’s looking into your eyes and listening for what you are asking of Him.  Know that He hears you and He begins to answer right away, whether you see it instantly or it takes some time.  Rest assured, He is answering.
