DIVINE: Knowing Our God of Peace - Reflection

Are you searching for peace? What is peace, anyway? Who is our God of Peace and what will He do? How do we respond? 

In this Sister Studies video, I share my reflections after spending a few weeks listening to and studying these verses seeking to know God more deeply as our God of Peace. 

Here are a couple of the lessons God has been teaching me:

Having a mindset of the Holy Spirit that leads to life and peace is less about WHAT I'm thinking about and more about the PERSPECTIVE I'm looking at things from.

When I need peace and God hasn't yet calmed the storms in or around me, I can find peace in His nearness instead of being frustrated that He's not doing what I want.

The Bible gives us some specific steps to take to help us find and hold onto peace:

Hey, friends. In a few days I'll be sharing a reflection recording based on what I've been learning or remembering about knowing our God of Peace.
