My and Let
John 14:27 “Shalom I leave you, My shalom I give to you; but not as the world gives! Do not let your heart be troubled or afraid. source
Two particular words: My and Let
My peace.
His peace.
HIS peace He gives us.
Perfect.
No flaws.
No defects.
Perfect peace.
That IS His gift to us.
Let?
That’s our part.
Not let.
We choose BECAUSE of His peace to LET NOT our hearts be troubled or afraid.
SO! When I am troubled and afraid I KNOW I have forsaken His peace and because of that I have let myself get all in a tizzy.

Washing Machines
While passing the laundry room, I looked in and remembered a load of clothing that needed to be washed. And I thought about the cabbage in the bowl in the kitchen waiting for salt, pepper, mayo and etc. I thought I could start the washer. It would take only seconds. Yes. Only seconds and then I thought of other time-saving, labor-saving devices I have in this sweet house of ours – you do too, don’t you?
What if our Great GOD and Father allowed all these conveniences for the purpose of freeing us up so we could spend even more time in His Word than could our pioneer ancestors? The day-to-day was hard for them in an all together different way than it is for us.
Trinkets, schemes and tactics have been stepped up against this world since his time is growing short. Do you believe this?
Revelation 12:12 Therefore rejoice, O heavens, and you who dwell in them! Woe to the earth and the sea, for the devil has come down to you with great rage, knowing that his time is short. source
