Yes, Lord, give perfect peace to those who keep their purpose firm and put their trust in you. Isaiah 26:3
Today, I remember the thousands of auto workers whose future is now at stake. They will soon experience the economic downturn like so many of their fellow Americans. Several of our own already know this pain. I can remember as a boy the promise of working for one firm the length of your life. Those days are gone. I can remember when having enough was enough. That too is forgotten.
God long’s to give us peace in this life but like a gift it requires that we receive it and do our part. We were not put here just to build cars or accumulate wealth. We were given a grander purpose of living for and in Him. But we must do this one thing. "Trust Him". Only when we begin each day asking for His will and looking each hour for His presence, can we know such peace.
So, no matter what you face today, trust Him. No matter what happens, take you peace in doing His purpose. It will get you through this day and this life and beyond.
May you have a day of peace. Michael
