Feeling Fit and Fab #14
Karol Horken • December 7, 2020
In my last post, I talked about partnering with God to have a stress-free holiday—one in which we are established in peace and joy. I have walked with the Lord for almost forty years and one thing that I have learned is that there is no peace outside of God.
The Bible instructs us how to experience His peace:
Don’t worry about anything;
instead, pray about everything.
Tell God what you need, and thank Him
for all He has done.
Then you will experience God’s peace,
which exceeds anything we can understand.
His peace will guard your hearts and minds
as you live in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:6-7 (NLT)
To have God’s peace, we are instructed to turn our concerns over to Him and talk to Him about everything. As we commit these next few weeks to God and ask for His thoughts, He promises to help us to keep Jesus front and center as we make all the decisions required of us.
We are also instructed to “thank Him for all He has done.”
I am truly amazed at how quickly I can slip into forgetting about how He has blessed me. In the fall of 2018, I bought myself a small “Gratitude Journal” and every night I wrote down two or three things that God had done for me during that day. I know that if I had not been intentional about writing, they would have slipped right by me. This might be a good time to begin this practice and in doing so, be reminded that it is Jesus
who made it possible for God’s blessing to come upon us. If you have children or if you are involved in a prayer group or Bible study, this would be a wonderful thing to put into practice. Jesus is God’s gift to us—so let’s tell Him “Thank You.”
Don’t worry about anything, pray about everything telling God want you need and remember to thank Him for all He has done. It is then
that you will experience God’s peace!
If as you are reading this, and you cannot remember a time when you committed your life to Christ, I encourage you to click on “Prayer”
above. There you will find a sample of the prayer that I prayed almost forty years ago. As you pray it from your heart, you will receive Jesus as your Lord and Savior. What joy you will have as you celebrate this season—and the rest of your life—with Him!
