I had never thought about the idea that God's Peace "will permeate your words and demeanor!" If this truly happened in my life, I believe I would better be able to encourage and minister to others in need! What an exciting thought that by following the path that God has shown me, I will experience an Abundant Life while helping others have the same!
During your time of worship today, I hope that you will listen to the words and music of "Just a Closer Walk With Thee" that is posted on the right side of this page.
Sometimes when life gets hectic and busy, I want to grab Sarah Young's book, read her great devotional thoughts, and skip the Boble readings. (I tell myself I will read them later.). That is not an option! Today's reading from 2 Peter states "grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and Savior Jesus Christ our Lord." we know that knowledge is Bible based. I think it would be better to read the Bible quotes first, and then later see how the author unpacks the meaning, if I truly am limited by a real time crunch! Sometimes God speaks to me very personally through Bible readings!
ReplyDeleteI appreciate your comment and suggestion about reading the scriptures first. I will start doing that since that is truly where God speaks to us.
