"For we all stumble in many ways. If anyone does not stumble in what he says, he is a perfect man, able to bridle the whole body as well." -James 3:2 (NASB)
I recently read a quote in which Kimberly Jones states, "Don't let people pull you into their storm. Pull them into your peace." Whether we know it from reading the Bible or from our daily experiences, we are aware that none of us are perfect. There are times we stumble and sin, times when each of us are caught up in a storm. When we stumble and the storms begin to rage, we do have a perfect peace that we can rely on and that we can pull others toward!
As Christians, we can know the peace of our risen and everlasting Savior. We can know the peace that comes from resting in the arms of the all-powerful God. When the storms move into our lives, we can depend on these sources of strength, redemption, and peace. We can also help others stay connected to the peace that we can find in God and Jesus. When the storms swirl around us, we can get swept away or we can hold tight to the peace we are given and pull others toward us!
Don't get swept away in storms, but help pull others toward your peace!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for pulling me out of the storms and for providing peace. Help me to hold tight to Your promises so that I can help others move into Your peace. Through Jesus, my Savior, I pray, amen.
