There is no Rock Like our God

“There is no holy God like the Lord. There is no God but you. There is no Rock like our God.” 1 Samuel 2:2

The human heart is either too stubborn or too variable to be trusted completely. We stubbornly cling to opinions, even in the face of convicting evidence that we are wrong. We will even cling to our personal convictions to the point of causing harm to others. If our preconceived notions are threatened we may attack, make insinuating remarks and shut down relationships that may have actually helped us mature along the way.

Always in Every Way

"May the Lord of peace himself give you peace always in every way. The Lord be with all of you." 2 Thessalonians 3:16

Peace can be defined in so many ways and experienced in a myriad more. We talk about the “peace” of a person whose inner life has gone from restless to tranquil. The various components of personality are pretty much pursuing the same things, longing for the same goals, and inner stress is lessened. Most inner turmoil is the result of conflicted emotions: I want to be raise my children well, but I also want to be their best friend all the time.
