Please read devotional #43 taken from Psalm 122:6-8. Isn't it amazing how songs reach your heart in a way that the spoken word does not? Many of the songs we sing are taken directly from scripture or the thought is taken from scripture. During the Old and New Testament era, the people did not have the scriptures in their home to read but the scriptural songs were in their heart. As they sang them, the truth could be embraced and allowed to have its wondrous effect.

The peace of God is available to us because God has provided His peace. Though it is available we are not always enjoying His peace. It isn't that that peace is hiding, it is right where God put it, that we might receive its benefit. James 4:2 "....You do not have because you do not ask." seems appropriate. We tend at times, not to go where it may be found. If it takes a "string on a Finger" or (perhaps in this day a bracelet for cancer awareness) let's wear a peace string. Peace is vital if we are going to be an effective witness for Jesus. Children and family members need parents dwelling in peace. Peace in our home, neighborhood, community and world will make a difference.

Jesus made peace personal as He said "My peace I give to you.....". Peace is available through our personal relationship with Jesus.

Pray for peace, your peace,
Share the reason for your peace with others.
Pray for souls, 10-10-10.
