AUGUST 26

JOHN 14:27-“Peace I leave with you. My peace I give unto you.”

Remember to read “My Utmost for His Highest” for Today

 REFLECTED PEACE

I know the Peace of His Presence. I hope it shows on my face.

Reflecting only His goodness because He died in my place.

I need the Peace of His Presence. At times I feel battered within.

But when I recognize and release it, all pain is soothed by Him.

I have the Peace of His Presence. It lovingly shines through the gloom.

If I practice the Presence of Jesus then Satan is offered no room.

I feel the Peace of His Presence. At night I can settle and sleep.

If I forget about His Presence, life problems become too deep.

Because of the Peace of His Presence, I have heavenly privileges to claim.

Reflecting His holy goodness, I am His Child and am called by His Name.

PONDER-Reflections can only reveal what exists. If we practice the Presence of Jesus by inviting Him into our lives, then a reflection of Him will be revealed. The more of Him we have, the more of Him will be revealed or reflected in and through us. Challenge: enlarge your capacity to reflect Him by spending more time with Him. Watch your reflection of Him grow. Peace will be your gift. It must be pursued. Seek Peace as you Pursue Him.

Dear Lord, Thank you for the Peace that passes understanding that You offer. Help me to patiently pursue Your Presence and thank You for the gift of Peace that Your Presence brings. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
