Jesus said, peace I leave with you, my peace give you. I do not give , as the world gives.

One of my favorite verses. It helps me be reminded, that God is in Control. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me, but when I do it on my Own, I fail God badly, since I am not allowing him to work in me, but selfishly following my own path. Not a good idea.

Humble thyself in the sight of the Lord, and He shall Lift you up.
Humbling yourself before God, is resisting Satan. It’s not standing in your own strength, but being filled with the Holy Spirit, Jesus gift to us, along with his sacrifice on the cross, and his gift of eternal life.

Submit. Lit. “to line up under.” The word was used of soldiers under the authority of their commander. In the NT, it describes Jesus’ submission to His parents’ authority (Lk 2:51), submission to human government (Ro 13:1), the church’s submission to Christ (Eph 5:24), and servants’ submission to their masters (Titus 2:9; 1Pe 2:18). James used the word to describe a willing, conscious submission to God’s authority as sovereign ruler of the universe. A truly humble person will give his allegiance to God, obey His commands, and follow His leadership (cf. Mt 10:38). Resist the devil and he will flee from you. The flip side of the first command. “Resist” literally means “take your stand against.” All people are either under the lordship of Christ or the lordship of Satan (Jn 8:44; Eph 2:2; 1Jn 3:8; 5:19); there is no middle ground. Those who transfer their allegiance from Satan to God will find that Satan “will flee from” them; he is a defeated foe.
Of Whom Shall I Fear?

“I call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised, And I am saved from my enemies.”
Psalms 18:3 NASB1995
Help us to see clearly, Lord, that we may ask according to your will. Seek ye first, the Kingdom of God, and ALL these things will be added unto you.

The point is, we must make every effort. Peace may not come, but the battle does not belong to us. It is the Lords. It is is his armies that go before us, to fight against man, but to fight for every man or woman’s soul.

Thought for the Day.

Therefore, since we have so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us, let us also lay aside every encumbrance and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.”
Hebrews 12:1-2 NASB1995
Love Our Enemies! This is not a suggestion by Jesus.

Father, I we are not capable of doing this on our own. We surrender, our bitterness to you. Take it from us, and help us to keep our eyes on the example you have set for us. May we be like Jesus, who was hated by many, including us. May those who hate, have their eyes opened, just as ours were. Give us the eyes of Jesus to see clearly.
But the things which God announced beforehand by the mouth of all the prophets, that His Christ would suffer, He has thus fulfilled.

Father, may we all, who profess your name, be telling a lost world, the Good News, that our souls were bought with a price, that we can never repay, by Jesus perfect life, his giving of himself for us, out of perfect love, that we might be rescued from ourselves, to a new life in him. Your word never returns empty, and YOUR LOVE NEVER FAILS.
