God Today Devotions

Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.
Philippians 4:5-6

Everyone is a work in progress. It would be great, if we could all truly grasp this simple truth, and view others as an un-finished work of God's hand. Instead, many times we seek only the negative, when we should be in search of the areas, that have been completed. What joy and peace of mind we will experience, when we let go of our contempt, and at times, even disgust with one another, and allow God's peace overflow in us. Each and every life is priceless, and the possibilities endless, in the hands of Almighty God. Viewing everyone through the eyes of God, changes our response, as well as our hearts and attitudes. It is a continual choice we make, to either look at what could be through Christ, or what we see with our human eyes. We are not expected to turn a blind eye to sin, but to seek what is good, and demonstrate love and compassion towards others, as they face the struggles and challenges along the way. We understand Jesus is Lord over all things, and when we are obedient to His word, we will experience the promise in our life. Verse 7And the peace of God, which passes all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

Prayer

I thank you for the good work you are doing in my life, and the lives of others. Let us continue to grow in greater knowledge of you, and your truth. We thank you for the un-deserving mercy we have been shown, and pray that you will fill our hearts with your love and compassion, for all who are hurting and struggling. Allow us to see through your eyes of love. Surround our lives with your perfect peace, that you may be glorified through them.
