Peace With God
The sky out my window is imperfect layers of salmon, steel blue-gray, and light cream colors as the world wakes up to another day. Our Father has created the most beautiful canvas on which to paint our lives. As I pondered this creation this morning, the idea of peace with God came to mind. I know it is a phrase oft quoted in the movies, but we as believers actually do have access to such a place. We have such access because of what our Messiah Yeshua (Jesus) did for us through His death and resurrection.
Romans 8:6 For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.
8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.
9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.
10 And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.
11 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.
12 Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.
13 For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.
14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
We have access to a very special place. We have access to that place where humans can be at peace with God. Yahuah (Lord) is our Friend and Deliverer, and we can stand before Him because of the blood that was shed for us by Yeshua (Jesus) our Messiah.
Today, if You have not, make peace with God. Ask Yeshua (Jesus) to forgive you of your sins and be your Lord and Savior.
Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are worthy to be our King. We praise and thank the name Yahuah (Lord). By Your mighty hand send us Your overwhelming provision today. Forgive us our sins. Heal us from the inside out. Keep us from the temptations of this world. Deliver us from the evil that would steal from us what You alone have provided. Show us a sign for good that all may know that You alone have done this. In Yashua’s (Jesus’) name. Amen.
