The Word Brings Peace - Part 3 - By Pat Stanton


There are certain attitudes and steps that you can live by that will help you maintain daily peace:

 

1.  HAVE A HUMBLE ATTITUDE - As you develop a servant's heart, you will become more concerned about other's needs. This will cause your own mind to relax as you reach out to others. Philippians 2:7, "But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men." We can have the peaceful mind of Christ if we desire to become what He was. John 12:24, "Verily, verily, I say unto you, except a corn of wheat falls into the ground and die, it abideth alone:  but if it dies, it bringeth forth much fruit."

 

2.  LET YOUR EXPECTATIONS BE FROM GOD - If God has become your source for happiness and peace, then these will not be taken from you when others disappoint you. Colossians 3:1, "If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God." Colossians 2:6, "As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him."

 

3.  REFUSE TO GRUMBLE, FRET, OR COMPLAIN - Fretting, grumbling, and complaining always takes away your peace. Colossians 3:17, "And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father by him." Psalm 37:1, "Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity."
