God [is] our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;
[Though] the waters thereof roar [and] be troubled, [though] the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah.
There is so much craziness going on in the world right now. I am so glad that I am able to have peace through Christ. We know that God is in control and whatever happens here will not affect our eternity. This is temporary, Praise the Lord.

Devotion - Philippians 4:6-7
Philippians 4:6-7
Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
The Lord wants to take our cares and turn them into peace. The Lord wants to hear your cares but we need to come to Him in the right spirit; not whining but Thankful for what he has done for us. Let God give you a sound mind and peaceful heart.

Devotion: John 16:33
John 16:33
These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.
The Lord knows that we all face tribulation and will give us peace through it. Just remember that whatever we face is temporary. One day Jesus will return and all our trials will be over!

Devotion - Colossians 2:6-7
Colossians 2:6-7
As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him:
Rooted and built up in him and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.
We need to make sure our life and our beliefs are founded on the Bible. If you don't know why you believe what you believe you are going to be more easily influenced by false doctrines and compromise.

Devotion - Matthew 7:12
Matthew 7:12
Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.
The Christian life is mostly about other people. We need to be constantly aware of how we are treating people. Is it how you would like to be treated? Is it pleasing to the Lord?

Devotion - John 4:24
John 4:24
God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
We need to remember that we must worship God His way. So often we try to worship God our way. People are making up new ways to "worship" all the time. Recently I saw a dowel rod interpretive praise thing. They were waving around dowel rods and that was supposed to be worship. If it is not God's way it is not worship. We have to go to God on his terms, not ours.

Devotion - Proverbs 8:36
Proverbs 8:36
But he that sinneth against me wrongeth his own soul: all they that hate me love death.
When people sin against you (if they haven't yet, they will), don't let it destroy you. They are hurting themselves. They may not realize it but they are destroying themselves spiritually. Give your hurts to God and sin will have its way with those that hurt you.
Lets be careful how we treat each other. When you sin against others, you are sinning against yourself.
