A cold wind blew over us yesterday causing the power to go out
during our church services. There was a
sense of something magical when candles were lit throughout the building. It was as if the candles symbolized the light
of Christ. The thing is . . . humanity
is surrounded by the presence of Christ; however, it is easy to respond to life
as if Christ is not present or in control.
Awareness of the presence, power, and peace of Christ changes the
perception of life and ultimately how life is managed. The Apostle Paul writes
of a living a life in Christ in the book of Philippians. In
Philippians 3:1
the word, finally, (3062) (loipon from loipós = remaining) is used to indicate a transition in the message telling the readers: Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things
again is no trouble to me, and it is a safeguard for you.
When we rejoice . . .
we are aware of the
presence of God and engage in the joy of knowing Christ
and being in Christ . .
.
we find that our emotions, thought
process, and perception changes . . .
which changes the atmosphere around us.
Breathe.
Recognize the presence of God.
Be aware of His presence . . . His power . . . His peace.
Be at peace.
Learning with you to KICK START the day . . . in the presence of Christ.

Never Ending Peace
Focus
Peace
Christ, God with us, came to give humanity peace
. . . shalom . . . well-being. Healing of the mind, heart, and soul occurs
through receiving the never-ending-life-giving peace of Christ.
Meditate
Of the increase of his government and peace there will be no end. He will
reign on David's throne and over his
kingdom, establishing and upholding it with justice and righteousness from that
time on and forever. The zeal of the LORD Almighty will accomplish this. Isaiah 9:7
See
Also: Psalm 29:11;
Luke 1:79
Pray with expectation.
Breath prayer: Living in Your never-ending Peace.
