Hey Friends,
This is Odie reporting in from the road. We had a great week with our friends In Bernice, Louisiana. Now the BoggsMobile is Texas bound.
Today I am pondering once again the wonderful gift of peace. We are all in need of peace in our lives. Our world is constantly searching for peace.
Where can I always find peace? God is my peace and solace! He is my resting place, shelter and comforter. I have been running to Him for lots of peace in recent days.
Here are three things that have been excellent reminders to me lately. I wanted to share them with you too.
1. Dad's January 11th episode of A Word For Wednesday greatly encouraged my soul. I recommend checking it out for yourself.
2. A friend sent me a portion of scripture last week. It was just what I needed for that moment. A reminder that God cradles us in His arms. There is no better place to be!
"The eternal God is thy refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms:"
Deuteronomy 33:27 KJV
3. A song sung by The Sound has been my heart's anthem. It is titled Peace Is. I can not get away from the song's tagline.
"When I feel like my world is in pieces
You show me what peace is"
Take a moment to read the full lyrics and listen to the song clip below.
Peace Is
Hunter Leath and Nathan Woodard
Verse 1
So many questions seem to go unanswered
So many doubts are racing through my mind
But even when I wrestle all these restless thoughts
I know you're near
And even when I wonder where you're leading me
You have shown your love time and time again
Though this battle that I'm fighting is already won
I still fight the fear
But I hear you softly whisper "it's okay"
And I'm believing everything I hear you say
Chorus
Cause peace is knowing
That you're with me in the valley
And you will never leave
Peace is having full assurance
There's no moment You will never see
When I feel like my world is in pieces
You show me what peace is
Verse 2
Maybe we aren't meant to have it all together
Maybe all these twists and turns shape our faith
We always want to stay up on the mountaintop
But even down here where my view is unclear
Chorus
Peace is knowing that you're with me
In the valley and you will never leave
Peace is having full assurance
There's no moment You will never see
When I feel like my world is in pieces
You show me what peace is
Bridge
Through all the struggle and the pain
I find there's still beauty in the rain
Peace is knowing that you're with me
In the valley you will never leave
Peace is having full assurance
There's no moment You will never see
When I feel like my world is in pieces
You show me what peace is
I am thankful for God's peace, which reaches far beyond all of my understanding! I hope these reminders have encouraged you as well. Thanks for stopping by to visit with me.
Odie
