Peace

An excerpt from God Calling by A. J. Russell, a book on daily meditations.

'Stop all work, stop all intercourse with others - until this (peace) is restored. Do not let those about you spoil your peace of heart and mind. Do not let anyone without, any trouble, any irritation, any adversity, disturb it for one moment.'

Did this before I read the book and wow wee, God's affirmation to my decision! I had work to do for the next day and was stressed out by it. I decided not to do it and to get away from the stress associated with it. I wanted to be with my best friend to gain respite from the time spent talking but decided against it too. I decided to seek His works in His music and here am I now, giving praise to Him, after having read this!

It is not a waste of time, I can assure you. Despite the loads of work waiting to be done, the commitments waiting to be met, the friends waiting to be consoled, God is worth forsaking all these imposed responsibilities for. He gives u renewed strength and energy. You can face all these much better, believe me. Try it, there's more to gain when you do!
