GOD OF PEACE

Today, we confess and meditate on or ponder Hebrews 13:20,21 from the Amplified Bible.  I love these two verses.  They have meant so much in my life, and I believe they will also mean as much in your life.  They are powerful scriptures.

Now may the God of peace (wholeness, nothing missing, nothing broken, completeness),

Who is the Author and Giver of Peace,

Who brought again from among the dead our Lord Jesus, that great Shepherd of the sheep,

by the blood that sealed, ratified the everlasting covenant, testament,

Strengthen, complete, perfect and make me what I ought to be

and equip me with everything good that I may carry out His will,

while He Himself works in me and accomplishes that which is pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ the Messiah, to Whom be the glory forever and ever, to the ages of the ages.  Amen, so be it!

Isn’t this an awesome scripture passage!  God tells us that He gives us a future and an expected end, a hope in our outcome in life. He is the One Who makes us what we ought to be.  He equips us to do His will.  He works in us to complete His will for us.  As a result of His work in us, He accomplishes that which is pleasing in His sight through Jesus Christ.  It is nothing of ourselves that accomplishes the plan of God for our lives.  It is He Who does it all.  And it is all done by the blood of Jesus Christ.  That is a sweatless life, a life full of the goodness of God.

We all need to meditate this scripture until we know that we know that we know that it is God Himself Who is our Peace and Who carries out His will in our lives.
