Follow The Peace
Posted By Aaron Marcelli on September 22, 2009
An old devotional I have in my journal:
God fulfills His promises and His plans. The Old Testament prophesies must have been confusing when they spoke of Jesus being born in one city, yet to live in a different one, and be titled by yet another. This could have been taken as contradictions or confusing but then we see all the circumstances Joseph and Mary went through and how the direction of god led them to different places. It almost seems as a natural list of events or story yet it fulfilled some wild and seemingly opposing prophecies. I need to trust that God is going to do that in my life.
When expressing my struggles about what to do regarding ministry, finances, and my living situations, (my former pastor) Charlie Bridges reminded me to let the peace of God rule in my heart and be my guide. The peace of God will never contradict the will or Word of God. He told me to think back to a time when I knew that I was in the middle of God’s will and remember what that felt like and then look for that feeling. No matter how difficult, scary, or out of my comfort zone something may appear, may my deciding factor be that I am following the peace of God.
