Tuesday A Calm and Undisturbed Mind

(AMP) Proverbs 14:30
A calm and undisturbed mind and heart are the life and health of the body, but envy, jealousy, and wrath are like rottenness of the bones.

Yesterday I encouraged you to think on God. Another step toward a calm and undisturbed mind is to praise Him, specifically for the Word of God.

(AMP) Psalm 119:164-165
Seven times a day and all day long do I praise You because of Your righteous decrees. [165] Great peace have they who love Your law; nothing shall offend them or make them stumble.

The NLT states it this way: (NLT) Psalm 119:164-165
I will praise you seven times a day because all your regulations are just. [165] Those who love your instructions have great peace and do not stumble.

Do you love God's instructions? Do you love the Bible? Have you spent time in it today, this week, this month? Are you obeying it's instructions? These questions are not here to make feel guilty. They are here to tell you, if you are of a disturbed mindset, perhaps it is because you have been too long away from the source of peace. The Word of God is there for you like a blanket kicked to the foot of the bed on a cold winter night. All you have to do is reach for it and draw it up around you. Immerse yourself in God's word and find that calm undisturbed mind.

Today fall in love with the Word of God. Make an appointment with your Heavenly Father every day. Meet Him at His Word. Find His peace in it's comfort.  

Love in Christ,
