Psalm 85:8  “I listen carefully to what God the LORD is saying, for he speaks peace to his faithful people. But let them not return to their foolish ways.” (NLT)

God wants peace with us more than we want peace with him. He wants peace for us and provides the well-lighted path into that blessed state of being. 

The songwriter teaches how to experience peace with God and the peace of God in all circumstances. First, he says, “I listen carefully to what the LORD is saying, for he speaks peace to his faithful people.”

We hear God’s voice most clearly through the Bible. Establishing a daily Bible reading habit leads to a more peaceful life.

Second, he says, “But let them not return to their foolish ways.” 

It doesn’t take a great deal of thought to see some of our foolish moments in the proper light. It’s pretty easy to see what we should have done differently. Having learned those lessons and gained that perspective, let’s not go down that road again. 

God’s words are truth and life. God’s ways are peaceful and pleasant. 

I will listen to God, do what he says, and live a peaceful life.

Our Father, give me ears to hear what you are saying to me today. Give me a willing and obedient heart to follow where you lead. Empower me to live a peaceful life and to carry your peace into every conversation and situation. Amen.

Daily D – Psalm 92:12-15

Psalm 92:12-15
The righteous thrive like a palm tree
and grow like a cedar tree in Lebanon.
Planted in the house of the LORD,
they thrive in the courts of our God.
They will still bear fruit in old age,
healthy and green,
to declare, “The LORD is just;
he is my rock,
and there is no unrighteousness in him.”

Daily D – Matthew 22:15-17

Matthew 22:15-17 Then the Pharisees went and plotted how to trap him by what he said. So they sent their disciples to him, along with the Herodians. “Teacher,” they said, “we know that you are truthful and teach truthfully the way of God. You don’t care what anyone thinks nor do you show partiality. Tell us, then, what you think. Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar or not?”

Daily D – Matthew 17:1-9

Matthew 17:1-9 After six days Jesus took Peter, James, and his brother John and led them up on a high mountain by themselves. He was transfigured in front of them, and his face shone like the sun; his clothes became as white as the light. Suddenly, Moses and Elijah appeared to them, talking with him. Then Peter said to Jesus, “Lord, it’s good for us to be here. If you want, I will set up three shelters here: one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”
While he was still speaking, suddenly a bright cloud covered them, and a voice from the cloud said, “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well-pleased. Listen to him!” When the disciples heard this, they fell facedown and were terrified.
Jesus came up, touched them, and said, “Get up; don’t be afraid.” When they looked up they saw no one except Jesus alone.
As they were coming down the mountain, Jesus commanded them, “Don’t tell anyone about the vision until the Son of Man is raised from the dead.”

Matthew 15:34 “How many loaves do you have?” Jesus asked them. “Seven,” they said, “and a few small fish.”
