"And the peace of God which surpasses all understanding will keep your heart and mind...."
Find God, Speak to Him and He will speak to you. What is peace? Can I tell you what it is and when you are experiencing it? No! I can give you a definition of a word but I can't give you an experience. I can however, offer you things that foster these; dare I say "emotions" or states of existence. How do you know when you have found tranquility?
Last year I was on a cruise. I stood on the top deck with nothing but blue sky and water as far as the eye could see. In the background there was a soft sloshing of the ship slicing through the water. The sun was a yellow egg yolk set in a clear brilliant blue back-drop with cloudy white wisps. A salty breeze brushed my cheek. My mind was mesmerized by the beauty of the moment. I sat and just listened to nothing in particular. I enjoyed being plugged into the realness of nature. For me, this is a description of peace. It is also what I call a "quiet affirmation" because it exists whether you look for it or not. It's up to you to find it, hear it, and understand it; hence, why they are referred to as quiet affirmations. I think of these enlightened experiences as God's uncanny sense of creativity.
Share them with me.... I would love to hear about your journey to find your Quiet Affirmation
My charge to you is to discover these natural occurrences in your daily lives. Through nature you can find peace, encouragement, joy and rays of hope.
He will keep you in perfect peace if your mind stays focused on the Lord and all that He represents..... Isa 26:3
