Title: What Does It Take to Maintain Peace?
Text:
John 14:6 (HCSB)
6 Jesus told him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.
Observation:
The question posed in today's title prompted me to launch today's meditation, and prayer.
When we repent of our sins it involves changing the path that we walk. We are walking one way, and we turn and walk in the way that Jesus walks. However, the new life as a Christ follower is not without difficulty.
How do you overcome the ups and downs that come after you make that initial turn to the Jesus Way?
Jesus gives the answer in our focal verse for today. Notice that Jesus said, "I am the way".
The way to maintain the peace of God in your life is to daily walk in the pathway of Jesus. Notice the lyrics of this song.
"We'll walk in the light, beautiful light,
Come where the dew-drops of mercy are bright;
Shine all around us by day and by night,
Jesus, the light of the world."
There is great peace that is always present when we walk in way of Jesus; when we abide, agree, and align our walk with His walk.
Psalm 119:165 (HCSB)
165 Abundant peace belongs to those who love Your instruction; nothing makes them stumble.
Prayer:
Father, O how wonderful it is to know that Jesus is the way that leads to the blessings that You give to Your people.
Father, lead and guide our lives so that we will have the will to walk in the Way; to walk in the light of Jesus.
Father, give us the strength to not grow weary as we learn to lean on Jesus with our whole life. In the mighty name of Jesus, I pray, Amen.
My Souls Sings:
"I'm learning to lean, learning to lean,
Learning to lean on Jesus.
Finding more power than I'd ever dreamed,
I'm learning to lean on Jesus."

11 So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.
