Psalm 85:8 I will hear what God the Lord will speak: for he will speak peace unto his people, and to his saints: but let them not turn again to folly.
So many times we lend an ear to so many other voices and not the voice of the One who has all power to save us, our Redeemer--Jesus Christ, the one true and living God.
When trouble comes we tend to run to Him....well, as long as it is not of our own doing. However, when it is a result of our own foolishness, we tend to run and hide from His presence. It is pride that keeps us clothed in our fig-leaves. Like our father and mother, Adam & Eve, we weave a covering for our self, thinking that we've got it all under control and out of sight, when in reality, we are exposed. Nothing is hid from God Almighty.
On the exterior we shine like new, but inside we are full of dead men's bones. We need to come into God's presence, with all our faults, sins, and griefs, willing to expose our self to Him; for only then can we be fully whole.
To the child of God who is willing take the correction....
To the child of God who is willing to take the comfort...
Peace comes.
Turn away from "SELF" and turn toward Christ. He is the only One that can fix it and make you whole.
What a friend we have in Jesus
All our sins and griefs to bear
What a privilege to carry
Everything to God in prayer
Instead of telling our friends and neighbors and fellow-saints about all the wrong that has come against us, why don't we do everyone a favor (including our self) and go to the One who knows the end from the beginning; the very Peace-Speaker of our lives?
