The Pursuit Of Shalom

Stand firm in the Faith! As a tumbleweed matures it detaches and goes as the wind blows. We tend to do the same but the world is are wind beneath our feet to which we follow after. Realizing it sooner than later we tend to be drifted to what society says and does beyond what we are called or ultimately satisfied with. The longing in which we have within will be satisfied shortly with the wind of the world while our soul is ultimately dissatisfied, longing for a deeper and genuine relationship with Christ.

“He is not afraid of bad news; his heart is firm, trusting in the Lord.”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭112:7‬ ‭

“Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. Resist him, firm in your faith, knowing that the same kinds of suffering are being experienced by your brotherhood throughout the world. And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you. To him be the dominion forever and ever. Amen.”
‭‭1 Peter‬ ‭5:8-11‬ ‭

Take a moment or two, Meditate on today’s word 🌱

I’ll give you the key. Come in but don’t touch anything. Don’t rearrange. The dust under the rug, yeah leave it there. Don’t mess with the mess I’ll do it later. That’s not MY priority at the moment. No don’t go in there that’s my clutter room. (Do ya have one of those?) it’s where I store up things. New. Old. Memorable or junk. But it’s mine. And, and one day I’m gonna do something about it. But right now don’t go in there. I’m not ready yet. To remove those things. From my past. To my future, to my present. Funny but isn’t that how we are with God? We push away and say no! No! I’m not ready, to give you the junk the memorable. The new and the old. We think he has no need for that. No time for that. No acknowledgement of it being there. But when he took the key, he took the whole house. To rebuild. To clean. To restore. To make new. So away with the things of the clutter room hello to the room and what’s in store for Christ to work in and around.

“Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭43:19‬ ‭

These song’s have such a deep grasp on welcoming the healer. God making a way through our pain. And God’s love for us through it. We welcome the healer in this place, We welcome the Author of our faith . We welcome the God who makes a way! His name is JESUS!

He can heal your wounds.

Mentally. Spiritually. And if not physically he will give you the strength too! He doesn’t give you more than he knows you can handle.

“Therefore let anyone who thinks that he stands take heed lest he fall. No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.” 1 Corinthians 10: 12-13

Proverbs 4:

7 

The beginning of wisdom is this: Get[a] wisdom.

    Though it cost all you have,[b] get understanding.

8 

Cherish her, and she will exalt you;

    embrace her, and she will honor you.

9 

She will give you a garland to grace your head

    and present you with a glorious crown.”

Wisdom is not something that suddenly falls upon you overnight. The chase for wisdom will last you your entire lifetime. Even though it may seem as so, this is not meant to discourage you on your journey, but actually the entire opposite. You see, the search for wisdom is an everyday thing. Not only is wisdom found in the big events or revelations, but wisdom is to be found in the everyday events.

Proverbs 4:

20 

My son, pay attention to what I say;

    turn your ear to my words.

21 

Do not let them out of your sight,

    keep them within your heart;

22 

for they are life to those who find them

    and health to one’s whole body.

23 

Above all else, guard your heart,

    for everything you do flows from it.

24 

Keep your mouth free of perversity;

    keep corrupt talk far from your lips.

25 

Let your eyes look straight ahead;

    fix your gaze directly before you.

26 

Give careful thought to the[c] paths for your feet

    and be steadfast in all your ways.

27 

Do not turn to the right or the left;

    keep your foot from evil.

A daily devotion to your relationship with Jesus. A constant devotion to keep Gods commandments. The everyday devotion to God is where we need to search In order to find this long path of wisdom. So as you go along your journey today, this week, and even the rest of your life, know that the path of wisdom lies with obedience and attention to God the Father. This, along with constantly seeking for his words and lessons, will lead you down the path of a long, prosperous, and wiseful life.

“For God has done what the law, weakened by the flesh, could not do. By sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, he condemned sin in the flesh,”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭8:3‬ ‭

Watching murder mystery’s thinking, could I do this? I mean if I could what are the chances of getting away with it? Slim.. very slim. But the more I think about it the more I realize, I did. I really have murdered someone. Jesus. I put the nails in,I held the hammer. I placed the whip. I mocked his name. I placed him in deaths courts. Yet that’s not where it ends, not by me or you. But by God. He redeemed. He gave death a life. Brokenness a whole. Craziness a peace. The fatherless a father. The widow a comforter. His son being raised from the dead by the wounds I drove in him, not by my power or my might but by my surrender to let go and let God do what he is best at doing, raising the dead to life, the dry bones to use.

“For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.”
‭‭John‬ ‭3:17
