Active Peace

Therefore, beloved,
while you are waiting for these things,
strive to be found by him at peace,
without spot or blemish;
(2 Peter 3:14, NRS)

Good Morning,

This is Tricia’s half birthday. We began celebrating her half birthday when she was a child to have a birthday party during the school year. God perfectly planned her birthday and half birthday to make a difference in this world. There is amazing peace in knowing God has brought all things together in her life.

II Peter 3 highlights our need to live in peace:
Therefore, beloved: The conjunction, therefore, was often used to indicate a reason to link truth with an action. Peter addressed his letter to the “divinely loved” (beloved). There are specific truths for those who receive His love.

While you are waiting for these things: We are to be so occupied with the plan of God that we are willing to wait or align with His perfecting timing.

Strive to be found by him at peace: Peace is an active agent of God within our inner being. Peace indicates wholeness and wellness. Peace brings the pieces of our life together. Taking a daily walk with God draws His power into our life. As God walks through our mind, heart, and soul He brings all things together creating a peace that passes all understanding. His peace is sufficient to meet our needs. He provides a new power of peace every day.

Without spot or blemish: The purity of the presence of Christ Jesus in our life transforms who we are. He abides within our being in perfection, residing in holy perfect love, a component of His active peace.
Learning with you to live in His active peace,
Kerrie
