Reflections

⁶For the mind set on the flesh is death, but the mind set on the Spirit is life and peace.  Romans 8:6

 ⁷And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:7

Peace is one of the tools the Holy Spirit uses to give us direction, either with the presence or absence of peace.  It is very important that we are in tune with the Holy Spirit and recognize when peace is present or not present.

The Holy Spirit will warn us if danger is ahead or if we are making the wrong decision.  He will confirm if a decision is right and the will of God.  But we must be sensitive to His promptings.  Many people want God to shout in a booming voice what they should or should not do.  Many times it is simply the presence or absences of peace that will let us know if we are on the right track.

Too many of us ignore this and we make decisions that we have no peace about but somehow reason it out to be right.  Other times we gave peace about a decision but it does not make sense in the natural, so we question ourselves and go against that decision.  It is very important that we heed to the Holy Spirit’s promptings and warnings.

When we make a decision based on God’s will, and obey Him, there will be peace, the kind of peace that is not controlled by circumstances or emotions.  It is the peace of God; peace that the world does not have.
