"Therefore, beloved, looking forward to these things, be diligent to be found by Him in peace, without spot and blameless; and consider that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation-…"
~II Pet 3:14-15~
This week, I want to share some things from the Extaordinary Women's Conference we attended this weekend. The theme was Powerful Peace. I "stumbled" on this verse this morning. It reminds me that my only peace wil come from diligence to His plan for my life. He says "Diligent to be found in peace". I am to persue peace with a passion. God intends His children to be at peace throughout our lives- peace to let Him lead. He knows there is peace in obedience to His commandments because the result is us, standing blameless before a Holy God. He expects us to seek a peaceful life. . ."If it is possible, as much as depends on you, live peaceably with all men." ~Rom 12:18~. He also expects us to seek balance & order for our lives. Too busy is sometimes just too busy. We need proper rest so we are alert to His Spirit every day. He wants us able to enjoy our lives, not just run from activity to activity checking off our to-do-list.
Below are some of the quotes from the women's conference this weekend . . .
"God's nature is peace. Thats is who He is, He can be no other way" (So, when we spend daily time with Him, we can't help but take on His peace)
"Women of peace are more rested, they lay down & sleep without problem. They think more clearly. A woman who remains in constant relationship with God IS a woman of peace."
So today, I urge you to seek peace with God, whatever it takes, find it. Don't give the enemy another day of victory over your life. Don't rob your family & friends of the woman of peaceful encouragement you can be. BE His minister of peace.
