In pursuit of perfect peace...
Father, your creation declares your greatness and lovingkindness, encouraging statements of pure truth in our daily walk... Peace is an elusive concept to most. For the masses, life is anything but peaceful in their unrestful minds. Bruce Lee, the famous martial artist, is accredited with this quote in pursuit of peace, "You don’t find peace. You choose it. By what you ignore. By what you release. By what you stop giving energy to." I would add true peace, Mr. Lee, is only discovered in a life dedicated to making Jesus Christ the foundation of all we say and do! Speaking of the worthiness of pursuing Jesus Christ, Luke wrote, "for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved." (Acts 4:12) What gives us peace in this life? That's easy; the confidence of knowing that Jesus' blood covers our sins, that is, those baptized into His gospel, His death, burial, and resurrection. Having fully committed our lives to Him, we have hope of a new life, an eternal life, a life completely full of forgiveness and love and understanding; perfect peace… Thank you, Jesus, for showing us that you are the way, the truth, and the life; THE answer for those committed to seeking the truth in all things!
