Back to Living – Day 13

A friend of mine mentioned to me last night that she hasn’t seen a post from me in a few days.  I’ve been so caught up in work lately that I’ve been letting other very necessary things slip by such as my daily devotions, studying the Bible, exercising and eating right.  The thing is, I really like my job and when I get on a role, I want to get up and jump right into it.  Throughout the day I always pray, but that is just not enough.  My job should be the last on my list of everything that’s important to me.  It’s very simple; keep God first and everything will fall into place as it should.

For Christmas, my sister gave me a daily devotions book that I love.  The book is called, “Jesus calling” and it’s written as if they are letters from God.  Today God told me to wear my peace with regal dignity.  It will keep my heart and mind close to God.

I know in the beginning I mentioned that I was going to memorize a verse everyday on healing.  Well, for one thing, my chemo brain can only handle a little at a time.  But also, it’s not all about God healing me, it’s really about me living my life for Christ.  It’s all about him, not me.  Like I said, put God first then everything else will fall into place.  About a year ago my niece posted a verse to me on facebook:

John 14:27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give you.  I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.

Peace is so extremely important and you can only get real peace through Christ Jesus our Lord.
