Peace

wp:paragraph I start every morning and evening with coffee and God through daily devotions from Our Daily Bread Ministries, https://odb.org. “Love and Peace” is the title of today’s devotion. The scripture is from Psalm 16 with the key verse, “You will not abandon me to the realm of the dead. . . . You make known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence."Psalm 16:10–11. Monica Brands wrote this devotion. My beloved brothers and sisters in Christ, before I write, I pray first to God to guide my words, so that it may serve as spiritual food and guidance. I want God to be the sole source of my writing, so all the credit goes to Him, not to me. I am only his humble servant. I thank God that He led me to use Our Daily Bread Ministries as a base for comments. This article reminds me that the book of Psalm is about people expressing their feelings and concerns to God. When my Mom died, I was angry and I expressed my feelings to God. We can surrender to His loving arms that tenderly carry us through our pain into a peace and joy that even death can never quench (v. 11).

Father, thank You for the way Your tender touch embraces and holds us in our times of joy and pain. Help us to turn in trust to You for healing.

My God bless you and may He hold you in times of joy and pain.
