Perfect Peace

Perfect Peace

As we keep our minds stayed upon God, we can enjoy the perfect peace of God that surpasses all understanding. The phrase “perfect peace” is the Hebrew word Shalom, meaning complete, whole, lacking nothing. Read slowly the words of Amy Carmichael, missionary to India who passed away on this day in 1951.

Blessed are the single-hearted, for they shall enjoy much peace. If you refuse to be hurried and pressed, if you stay your soul on God, nothing can keep you from that clearness of spirit which is life and peace. In that stillness you will know what His will is. - Amy Carmichael (Missionary to India)

Take Amy’s counsel into your day, be single-hearted, refuse to be hurried and pressed, and stay your soul on God. The result will be peace, clarity of spirit, and the knowledge of His will as you engage your day. Have an amazing day on purpose! - Pastor Jimmy
