What You Seek.....You Will Find.

What you seek....you will find. If you want to include God in that, then you will find what God has for you. However, if you choose to exclude God from what you are seeking, then you will find what the world has to offer you. And God's Word is very clear that this world has nothing to offer us but heartache and trouble.
God is a God of peace, a God of love, a God of forgiveness, a God of grace and mercy.....and He is a just God. He looks into the heart of a man, and looks past the mind. This world looks into the mind of a man, and looks past the heart. If it truly is peace and joy that you seek, then God is the ONLY place you will truly find it. You may find temporary things in this world that seem to offer peace or joy, but temporary is exactly what it will be and the world will always take you down a path that pulls you further from God if He is not in it. John 14:27 says "Peace 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, neither let it be afraid."
Christ could not have been any more blunt about the peace you will find IN HIM...and the fact that this world can not offer it to you.
NO MATTER what is going on in your life, seek peace in Christ. He can give you a supernatural peace and a supernatural joy in all of life's circumstances. Though you may feel like you are being attacked from every side, peace and joy can be in your heart. Take every moment to remind the enemy that he can not and will not rob you of that. Remind the enemy that you know what John 10:10 says (The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.) and through the power of Jesus you WILL have an abundant life IN Jesus. Do not allow the enemy kill, steal or destroy one more minute of your life!
God, may Your people find peace in You today. No matter what the world throws at us, no matter what the enemy tries to use against us, may we stand firm on Your Word and Your truth. May the power of Your love defeat all negativity in ours lives and change the hearts of those who do not yet know your peace. Give us the strength to be able to offer the love, grace and mercy that is offered up to us. In Jesus name, Amen.
