Be A Woman of Peace

"Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice.  And the God of peace will be with you."
Philippians 4:8-9


In today's world, it is a difficult road for woman with all the demands of being a mother, home-maker, career woman and wife.  That is why it's important that we find God's peace and store it up within ourselves.   After reading the scripture above, here are some tips on how you can find that peace that God wants for all of His children.

Read - Are you pouring into God's teachings?  It's important that we make time to read God's word daily.  Find a quiet time in your day, open your bible and pour into His word. 

Receive -  God's instructions and teachings are very powerful.  Don't rush through your daily reading.  Go slow, meditate and savior God's word.

Ask -  Pray that God will give you discernment and understanding to what you are reading.  It's amazing how God will reveal certain scripture that applies to events going on in your life.

Do - Discipline yourself to apply what you are learning.  Make an effort to incorporate God's spiritual truths to your life and you will see a positive and encouraging change. 

Let's respond graciously in a peaceful manner.  When we practice and actively seek to receive God's inner peace, we start to demonstrate the attitude of our Savior.
