The father of unquietness
did not wake up this morning.
He doesn't sleep.
His days are spent aiming his lies at your heart,
furiously firing a flintlock filled with fear.
Thousands of poison arrows dipped in deceit
are launched into motion by his minions.
In the sky of your heart, is a cloud with his message:
"Glory in YOURSELF,
YOU are worthy of all the earth has to offer."
"I will give YOU peace and unquietness.
YOU don't need to rest.
Hurry before YOU lose all these opportunities.
Never mind your family,
YOU need money.
Forget your neighbor,
YOU don't have time to help them.
YOU deserve everything in this world - all of it!
YOU can cheat, everybody does it.
YOU need to get more!
YOU never have enough!"
The father of unquietness has one final question:
"Do YOU feel lucky, punk?"
NO, EVERYBODY DOES NOT CHEAT!
Some folks will:
Watch your back.
Wash your feet.
Wrap your heart in love.
Wage war against your enemies.
Write truth on your soul.
Wash over you with waves of mercy.
Some folks will never leave you or forsake you.
God will take your chase for glory
and chase you into a cleft in the rock.
He will hide your face from His glory.
His peace should be first in your life.
His peace is the model for peace in your family.
Without God's plan of peace in all areas of your life,
you will end up empty.
John 16:33 Amplified Bible
"I have told you these things,
so that in Me you may have [perfect] peace and confidence.
In the world you have tribulation and trials and distress and frustration; but be of good cheer [take courage; be confident, certain, undaunted]! For I have overcome the world.
[I have deprived it of power to harm you and have conquered it for you.]"
Thank's for your time. Go do something nice for somebody.
Jesus loves you and so do we.
