PEACE

One of the goals of Keepers of Our Haven is to help women develop a peaceful home. But what is peace? We all want it but what does having peace in our lives truly mean?

Can we only have peace when our homes are perfectly clean? Maybe when our finances are perfect? Oh, I know once we reach our perfect weight. What can give us peace?

If the above things could give peace, then all those who are rich and famous would have perfect peace. They would tell how they have no problems, how their life is complete peace and happiness. I’ve not seen anyone who says total peace has arrived with the perfect home, finances, beauty, or any earthly act.

True peace and true joy only come from God. When we begin each day with and focused on God; and end each day with God, peace will and does come.  It comes from the inside. What is happening in the world around us may not be perfect or peaceful but our inner peace from God will remain. 

“And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:7

Below are some devotionals I’ve found that help me begin and end each day focusing on the peace of God. If you have a favorite devotional that promotes peace please comment below. We all need to sharpen and uplift one another.  Be blessed ladies and stay in peace.
