Today's devotional reading for:

“Seek peace and pursue it.”
— Psalm 34:14
What creates stress?
Nowadays there are many situations that produce stress within us.
We have stressful jobs, stressful relationships, stressful responsibilities.
But listen to what one doctor says: “Since stress comes from the way in which you think, and not from the situation or people involved in your stress, you can begin to practice mind control.”
Well, now, isn’t that news.
Three thousand years after King David told us to “Seek peace and pursue it,” we discover that we can find the antidote for stress in our own minds.
The apostle Paul knew the importance of peace.
He began many of his epistles with the words “Peace be unto you.”
He ended many of them with “Grace, mercy and peace be yours.”
Peace is the alpha and omega of the Christian’s well-being.
As children of God, peace should be our normal state, and it will be the totality of our mental state in Heaven. But right now, unfortunately, many people fail to find it.
How sad it is to see unbelievers struggle—in vain—to find peace by turning to Eastern religious practices such as transcendental meditation or yoga.
But even many believers don’t seem to find the peace they need.
Instead, we all experience anxiety, stress, and a lack of serenity to some degree.
We need to seek the peace of God and pursue it in the morning, at night, throughout each day, in the midst of stressful situations.
We need to recover weekly so that we don’t build up an accumulation of ever-growing stress in our lives. Do you feel stressed out, as if you can’t take any more?
Then take time to lie “beside the still waters.”
Take time out once a week for a restful, worshipful Sabbath.
Above all, take time to really hear God’s words: “Be still and know that I am God.”
“It is not adversity that kills, but the impatience
with which we bear adversity.” Anonymous | ||||||

Christ Jesus prayed that all those who would believe in Him would be ONE, just as He and the Father are ONE; that they be brought to complete unity so that the world would know that He was sent by the Father. (John 17:20-23)
Heaven Is Our Destination Where We Will Be ONE With The Lord Forever
Today, we are in The Season Of The Last Generation. The Birth Pains that Christ Jesus spoke about are currently under way, including natural and unnatural disasters. They will be ever increasing. Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold. Social, economic and political turmoil will be ever increasing, causing people's hearts to be weighed down with dissipation, drunkenness and the anxieties of life. An apostasy within the Church of God is currently under way. This will all reach a climax with Satan revealing his Antichrist and requiring that everyone worship him; That every one receive his "mark" in order to buy or sell; The new currency of the New World Order, the New Tower of Babel.
Tom's books include: Called By Christ To Be ONE, The Time Of The END, The Season Of The Last Generation, Worship God In Spirit And In Truth, Daniel And The Time Of The END, and Overcoming The Evil One.

To receive Christ Jesus as a child by faith is the highest human achievement.
Today, the Bride Of Christ is rising up in every nation in the world! Giving Glory to Her Savior and King, Christ Jesus!
Today, the world is Raging against God, Rushing toward Oblivion! Save yourself from this Corrupt Generation!
Today, America is being ground to powder because of it's SIN against God!
