“Are You Permeated In His Peace?”

are you permeated in his peace

Are you permeated in His peace?   Should we be asking ourselves this question everyday?   I am thinking “yes!”   In fact, I am thinking it would be a good idea to ask ourselves  this question many times a day.   I think of  those days that one thing after another seems to slyly come, and tries to rob us of our precious peace that we possess in Jesus.  Sometimes our lives and it’s dealings can cause “our plates to be full” with things to do, maintain, and it can all be so overwhelming.   Today we are going to meditate on growing in this…. no matter what or how much tries to sneak in and rob us…we are NOT going to permit our peace to be weakened by anything.   Let us hold fast and  stay permeated and saturated in His wonderful peace.
 
 
 

 

Let me start out with talking about God’s peace that permeates us. This word “permeate” is one I love to use because it gives me a visual every time I say it. I usually proclaim “be saturated in His peace” when I am praying for someone that needs peace. What does the word permeate mean? It means to pass into or through every part of something to be diffused through, pervade or saturate.

 
 
 
 

Quite honestly I do not understand how anyone can live without God’s peace permeating their heart and mind. I see sometimes that even His children just kind of get used to flying by the seat of their pants with their own composure and strength. That may get you into your day but I will say this, it will never sustain you like God’s peace can. God wants to give us His ALL because He gave His ALL when He gave His only Son for us. He does not want to see us short changed in any way spiritually .
 
 
 
I encourage you to ask Him for His peace, and then hold fast to it!   Think about how precious that peace is that passes, pervades, and saturates our total being.   God is so good.

and hopes confidently in You.” Isaiah 26:3
