Peace In The Midst Of The Storm













Originally written and published in Spanish on October 29, 2012


Blessings to each one of you.  Today I feel the desire to share with you all, my friends, a few Scriptures that speak of Peace. It doesn't matter what situation it is you are going through, remember that the Peace of Christ is yours!  He gave it to us by giving His life and shedding His blood on the cross, and by resurrecting on the third day.  I say to you right now, get rid of all anxiety and all spirit of torment and pain that wants to come to take away God's Peace! Take that Peace, it's yours, He gave it to you and with that Peace you will conquer!

The Lord will give [unyielding and impenetrable] strength to His people; the Lord will bless His people with peace. - Psalms 29:11

Finally, brethren, farewell (rejoice)! Be strengthened (perfected, completed, made what you ought to be); be encouraged and consoled and comforted; be of the same [agreeable] mind one with another; live in peace, and [then] the God of love [Who is the Source of affection, goodwill, love, and benevolence toward men] and the Author and Promoter of peace will be with you.  - 2 Corinthians 13:11


Now the mind of the flesh [which is sense and reason without the Holy Spirit] is death [death that comprises all the miseries arising from sin, both here and hereafter]. But the mind of the [Holy] Spirit is life and [soul] peace [both now and forever]. -Romans 8:6

Great peace have they who love Your law; nothing shall offend them or make them stumble. 
-Psalms 119:165

You will guard him and keep him in perfect and constant peace whose mind [both its inclination and its character] is stayed on You, because he commits himself to You, leans on You, and hopes confidently in You. -Isaiah 26:3

 And the harvest of righteousness (of conformity to God’s will in thought and deed) is [the fruit of the seed] sown in peace by those who work for and make peace [in themselves and in others, that peace which means concord, agreement, and harmony between individuals, with undisturbedness, in a peaceful mind free from fears and agitating passions and moral conflicts].  -James 3:18 

When a man’s ways please the Lord, He makes even his enemies to be at peace with him. -Proverbs 16:7

 Peace I leave with you; My [own] peace I now give and bequeath to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid. [Stop allowing yourselves to be agitated and disturbed; and do not permit yourselves to be fearful and intimidated and cowardly and unsettled.] -John 14:27

 And let the peace (soul harmony which comes) from Christ rule (act as umpire continually) in your hearts [deciding and settling with finality all questions that arise in your minds, in that peaceful state] to which as [members of Christ’s] one body you were also called [to live]. And be thankful (appreciative), [giving praise to God always]. - Colossians 3:15

 And God’s peace [shall be yours, that tranquil state of a soul assured of its salvation through Christ, and so fearing nothing from God and being content with its earthly lot of whatever sort that is, that peace] which transcends all understanding shall garrison and mount guard over your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.
 -Philippians 4:7

 May grace (God’s favor) and peace (which is perfect well-being, all necessary good, all spiritual prosperity, and freedom from fears and agitating passions and moral conflicts) be multiplied to you in [the full, personal, precise, and correct] knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord. -2 Peter 1:2

It is my prayer that this reflection be a part of your daily portion.

Love & Blessings,
Michelle
