Finding Peace In The Storm
I have had to walk away from situations and circumstances regardless of who was right or who was wrong even though I knew you were wrong and I had receipts (proof) of it. Rather it was in the workplace, business, or my personal life I had to quickly learn that winning a disagreement or argument is so and still is very overrated.. I had to stop allowing myself to get upset or offended and Learn my role as a peacemaker, remain calm and say I am sorry rather it is my fault or not. I want to always maintain my peace and spiritual maturity even if the other person receives it or not. I will maintain my peace and remain calm in the midst of the storm because that gives me authority over the storm.
Peace is my weapon, I prepare for peace because I am hungry for peace and desire to be peaceful, so I asked God for it. Preparing for peace means that I have to handle things differently. If you know that you are going to be around a negative environment or situation make sure that you put on the armor of faith , breastplate of righteousness, and your feet fitted with peace. That is how you prepare for and stand firm against the attacks of the enemy.
“Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm.”
When you're dealing with certain circumstances you pray first and throughout the day seeking God and asking him for his strength, power and his peace. Ask yourself what or who makes you upset and who or what do you avoid?. Make provision for peace and live Peaceful on purpose regardless of your circumstances. Your peace has to be important to you and your spiritual maturity. If it’s important to God it should be important to you.
Peace is a Choice so don’t give away your peace, walking away is honored by God, you don’t have to win every argument and or have the last word. Keep moving forward, pray, honor God, and don’t give away your peace because of adversity.
You cannot and will not know everything every storm is not in the forecast. God does allow certain trials and tribulations to happen and that is exactly how you grow your faith in the midst of a storm or during the storm.
Pray for guidance and wisdom and seek peace and let peace be your weapon. You are responsible for your own peace, you will not accomplish anything if you continue to allow people to disrupt your peace and sometimes peace snatchers are just a distraction, with a plan to interrupt your peace.
