PEACE IS POWER

ECCLESIASTES 9:11-1211 I have seen something else under the sun:

The race is not to the swift    or the battle to the strong,nor does food come to the wise    or wealth to the brilliant    or favor to the learned;but time and chance happen to them all.

12 Moreover, no one knows when their hour will come:

As fish are caught in a cruel net,    or birds are taken in a snare,so people are trapped by evil times    that fall unexpectedly upon them.

YOU CANNOT ALWAYS CONTROL WHAT HAPPENS TO YOU.But you can control what you become because of it.

All you need is perspective.

A safe point of view.

Wisdom.

Ecclesiastes 9:17-18

17 The quiet words of the wise are more effectiveThan the ranting of a king of fools.

18 Wisdom is better than warheads,But one hothead can ruin the good earth.

PEACE!John 14:27

"Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you; not as the world gives, do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, nor let it be fearful. 

John 16:33

"These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome the world."

Romans 8:6

For the mind set on the flesh is death, but the mind set on the Spirit is life and peace,

Romans 14:17-19

for the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. For he who in this way serves Christ is acceptable to God and approved by men. So then let us pursue the things which make for peace and the building up of one another.

HOW TO GET THIS PEACE?

GO TO THE SOURCE!Matthew 11:28-30

"Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest. "Take My yoke upon you, and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart; and you shall find rest for your souls. "For My yoke is easy, and My load is light."

PHILIPPIANS 4:6-76 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
