EASY DOES IT!

Peace I leave with you; My [own] peace I now give and bequeath to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid. [Stop allowing yourselves to be agitated and disturbed; and do not permit yourselves to be fearful and intimidated and cowardly and unsettled.] John 14:27AMP

Do you know that Jesus desires for us to live in perfect peace – He tells us so in His Word! Jesus knew that the world gives the false reality that we should be living in the fast lane but you will never make a good decision in an emotional state! EASY DOES IT! When you are faced with a decision, do not allow yourself to be agitated or disturbed – instead calm down and allow the peace of God to rule in your heart so that you will make the right decision.

Why do you think stores have a 1-day sale? They want you to buy it NOW before you change your mind. EASY DOES IT! Why do you think when you place an order at a drive-thru, they ask do you want to super-size it? They want you to spend more money NOW before you have time to think about all of the extra ‘bad’ calories. EASY DOES IT!

In March, 1993 during the huge snow storm, my body went into pre-mature labor at 28 weeks. To make a long story short, while in the hospital, Scott left to go home to walk our dog. He had been gone about 15 minutes and my water suddenly broke and my doctor wanted to take me immediately for a C-section due to my now 29 week BREACH baby. I immediately called Scott to come back to the hospital and told the doctor he would not touch me until my husband arrived. They were putting fear in me by saying that was too dangerous for my baby’s life. I shut their voices off and began to draw peace from my Jesus and stood my ground. Upon Scott’s arrival, our baby Jillian was born at 29 weeks! She was the ‘perfect premie’ and we brought her home in 30 days instead of 72 days!!! Let God be true and every man a liar! (Rom. 3:4)

Stop allowing yourselves to be agitated and disturbed and do not permit yourselves to be fearful and intimidated and cowardly and unsettled by the world but let the peace of God make your decisions - no matter how big or how small!! You will never make a good decision in an emotional state.

Decisions, Decisions, Decisions = the PEACE OF GOD RULES!! Easy does it!

We’re family, let’s talk…….
