Live In Peace

Better is the poor that walketh in his uprightness, than he that is perverse in his ways, though he be rich. (Prov 28:6 KJV)

What a miserable state to find oneself in: rich and perverse! Poor and perverse is not so good either! But, he that walks in uprightness will be able to lay down at night and get a good nights sleep. He will be able to rise in the morning and be at peace with himself and with life because he knows that he walks with his integrity intact. 

A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches, and loving favour rather than silver and gold. (Prov 22:1)

He that walketh uprightly walketh surely: but he that perverteth his ways shall be known. (Prov 10:9)

There are enough people in this world who seek pleasure in the perverse things of this world. There are enough who in the pursuit of their own riches and enjoyment who will trample on others. They will know no peace. Do not follow in their footsteps. Seek what is good; do what is right; and live a life of peace! 

God's Peace be with you all - Pr. J.

New Year; New Life In Christ

So if anyone is in Christ, there is a new creation: everything old has passed away; see, everything has become new! (2 Cor 5:17 NRSV)

I woke up this morning listening to a very charismatic preacher on YouTube. No, not the kind that spends one fourth of his time asking for money. This one was preaching about and praying for new lives in Christ.

It is New Year's Day. If your life seems to be going no where and you no longer find much or any enjoyment in life; maybe it is time to put off the old and live a new life in Christ! To begin the new year afresh; maybe it's time to leave those false gods that have been taking front and center in your life behind you in the old year. Just maybe it's time to really live life to its' fullest and to do that life must be lived in Christ.

May God grant that you be filled and empowered by the Spirit of Christ from this day forward that you might live life joyfully praising God for all that He has done.

God's Peace - Pr. J
