[My awesome, loving and wonderful Grandchildren, whom I love and pray for every day…Most of us lie down, and most sleep, daily, for without rest and sleep life would not be well-preserved; but sadly! HOW FEW LIE DOWN IN PEACE! Peace with their own consciences and PEACE WITH GOD!]
“In peace I will lie down and sleep, FOR YOU ALONE, LORD, MAKE ME DWELL IN SAFETY.” (Psa. 4:8)
[We must encourage a peaceable nature, and neither say or do anything which has a tendency to annoy oneother. Love cannot live; it cannot exist, where there are clashes, arguments, and divisions. And where there is no peace or love present, God will not be found.]
“Finally, brothers and sisters, rejoice! Strive for full restoration, encourage one another, be of one mind, LIVE IN PEACE. And THE GOD OF LOVE AND PEACE WILL BE WITH YOU.” (2 Corin. 13:11)
[Oh, we must be very watchful to carefully make a distinction between good and evil, for the devil goes around like a roaring lion seeking to devour us! I pray the Lord will show us wisdom, to carefully avoid evil and hold on to the good.]
“Everyone has heard about your obedience, so I rejoice because of you; but I WANT YOU TO BE WISE ABOUT WHAT IS GOOD, AND INNOCENT ABOUT WHAT IS EVIL. The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet. THE GRACE OF OUR LORD JESUS BE WITH YOU.” (Rom. 16:19-20)
[Those who know Christ; and DO NOT confess him before men, cannot get multiplication of grace and peace.]
“GRACE AND PEACE be multiplied to you through the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord.” (2 Pet. 1:2)
[The one who professes to have Faith in God, and has not added to that Faith goodness, knowledge, and so on as listed in the scripture is blind – his understanding is darkened, and cannot see afar off.]
“For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; and to godliness, mutual affection; and to mutual affection, love. You should possess more and more of those good points, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, my brothers and sisters, make every effort to confirm your calling and election. FOR IF YOU DO THESE THINGS, YOU WILL NEVER STUMBLE, and you will receive a rich welcome into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.” (2 Pet. 1:5-8, 10-11)
Help us Lord to be firmly anchored in you!!!
Be blessed as you praise The Lord, knowing that:
IF YOU DO THESE THINGS, YOU WILL NEVER STUMBLE!
