Topic: Choosing Peace over Fear.

Anchor Scripture: Psalm 29:1 .NIV

“The Lord gives strength to his people;

the Lord blesses his people with peace”.

DEVOTIONAL READING:. Jesus is the king of peace, and the Bible says he has given us that peace through his suffering on the cross so that you can have the wholeness of body. Look up to Jesus daily for help . So by all means, you must be intentional about it , choose peace over fear, and must guard it jealously because the devil hates your laughter, he wants things to go wrong with you, he wants your tears, not your laughter. But you asked, how do I choose peace over fear? One of the ways to lose your peace is through self comparison. It's a pitfall. You must be intentional in avoiding this deadly trap.

This is why your faith must be strong, because the devil will attack in many ways, even now. Also, seeking peace with all men comes to play, you are also thinking what of if some people don't want peace, no matter how you try around them, then what do I do , you are thinking right now,

As today's Anchor Scripture says peace itself is a blessing, which the Lord has blessed you with,so do all you have to do by not letting anything or anyone steal it from you . Some people are agents from hell, they will do all manners of things to take your peace away from you, be watchful,. Be reminded, Jesus has blessed you with peace. The enemy thrives in chaotic situations, in real life, there are people , even countries that thrive in wars, because that is where their wealth is tied.

~ You must be intentional about your liberty.

~Because Jesus has set you free, so don't lock yourself up with vengeance. The moment you start planning for vengeance, you are no longer free yourself.

You have unknowingly planted the seed of bitterness, which you must avoid by all means .

~ No matter how difficult it is, to let go of some hurts, ask the Lord for help and ask him to give you the grace to allow some hurts heal. And you know what, the Lord is faithful, he will bind up your wound.

Beware of the enemy strategy that may want to deliberately put you out of your blessing.

DIGGING DEEPER:

What will peace do for you? Because you have been blessed with peace. Peace is a gift from God, and it's one of the greatest gift from God. You may not know the importance of peace until the enemy steals it. Always thank God for a life of peace.
