There are
places that change us. Unable to resist
. . . we become consumed . . . with where we are. In those places we are able to see that there
is more in this world than our personal circumstances. Whether
the place is found in the midst of towering mountains and rushing river waters or
in a field before harvest or in the welcoming light of home on a darkened
stormy night or in the open doors of a small country church there is one thing
we find . . . peace.
As
powerful as it is to experience peace in these places, there is a peace that is an ongoing reality through the presence of
Christ.
It is
the peace that Isaiah talked about:
"The steadfast of mind You will
keep in perfect peace,
Because he trusts in You. Isaiah 26:3
Because he trusts in You. Isaiah 26:3
A steadfast
mind is anchored. Worry or fear is
unable to take over. Peace results . . . a peace that heals and soothes . . .
the shalom of God. Why? Trust.
Release
your worry.
Anchor
your mind.
Trust
God.
Receive
the peace God offers to make each summer day count.
Learning
with you to KICK START the day anchored in Christ.
