11-29-21 THOUGHTS

Some thoughts on PEACE this morning.  
Mark 4:36-41    Leaving the crowd, they took Him along with them in the boat, just as He was; and other boats were with Him. 37  And there arose a fierce gale of wind, and the waves were breaking over the boat so much that the boat was already filling up. 38  Jesus Himself was in the stern, asleep on the cushion; and they woke Him and said to Him, "Teacher, do You not care that we are perishing?" 39  And He got up and rebuked the wind and said to the sea, "Hush, be still." And the wind died down and it became perfectly calm. 40  And He said to them, "Why are you afraid? Do you still have no faith?"  41  They became very much afraid and said to one another, "Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey Him?"
John 14:27   "Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your heart be troubled, nor let it be fearful.
John 16:33 "These things I have spoken to you, so that in Me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome the world."
Acts 10:36   "The word which He sent to the sons of Israel, preaching peace through Jesus Christ (He is Lord of all) — 
Rom 14:17-19     for the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. 18  For he who in this way serves Christ is acceptable to God and approved by men.  19  So then we pursue the things which make for peace and the building up of one another.
2Cor 13:11    Finally, brethren, rejoice, be made complete, be comforted, be like-minded, live in peace; and the God of love and peace will be with you.
Gal 5:22-25    But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23  gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law. 24  Now those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. 25  If we live by the Spirit, let us also walk by the Spirit.
Php 4:7 And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Col 1:19-20   For it was the Father’s good pleasure for all the fullness to dwell in Him, 20  and through Him to reconcile all things to Himself, having made peace through the blood of His cross; through Him, I say, whether things on earth or things in heaven.
1Thes 5:23  Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you entirely; and may your spirit and soul and body be preserved complete, without blame at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Heb 13:20-21    Now the God of peace, who brought up from the dead the great Shepherd of the sheep through the blood of the eternal covenant, even Jesus our Lord, 21  equip you in every good thing to do His will, working in us that which is pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen.
Jas 3:17-18    But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, reasonable, full of mercy and good fruits, unwavering, without hypocrisy. 18  And the seed whose fruit is righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.

My Prayer:
Thank you O Father for being the God of peace.  Give us your peace we pray.  
In the name of Jesus Amen
