There doesn’t seem to be much peace in the world today. The world is in great unrest. Our minds are in great unrest. We wear masks in public. We have another vaccine to decide on and new strains cropping up that the vaccine doesn’t ward against, so will there be a second and third version? This is a significant period of change in our history books, and we are the people of that day.
John 14:27 NLT “I am leaving you with a gift-peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give. So don’t be troubled or afraid.”
We don’t have the answers to tomorrow, but God does. He sees our today and tomorrow; if you find your spirit is at odds, there’s a weirdness in the air, something is off-kilter, and you feel as tho you are chasing the wind.
Slow down, go outside if you can, look up at the sky and watch a bird or two in flight. The reason I mention watching a bird or two in aviation is that yesterday, I was blessed with a moment of peace in just that manner.
The sun had peeked out from behind a cloud, so I went outside to catch a glimpse and breathe in the fresh air; I was saying a simple prayer of thanksgiving for the spot of sunshine and was blessed by an aerobatic show by a couple of sparrow playing in the breeze and tailwinds.
I caught myself mesmerized by their joyful fun of flight and thought, no one taught them how to fly, use drafts, and tailwinds it’s just instinctual. I believe it’s just as instinctual for our souls to align with God, to seek his peace in our spirits. Especially in today’s crazy world!
He already knows who you are, he knows your name, history, accomplishments, and skeletons, and he loves you and is patiently waiting for you to say hello! Seek his peace.
I hope you find a blessing or two on your travels today and thank you for joining me. 🥰
